Keep in mind that FlexVolt batteries are larger than compact and high capacity batteries. They’ll fit in place of a 2.0Ah or 5.0Ah battery, but with added size and weight.

And it’s not just 1 battery. Right now there’s a 6.0Ah battery out, and a 9.0Ah battery pack is on the way.

FlexVolt batteries are 20V Max by default, and switch to 60V Max when connected to 60V or 120V Max power tools.

I like the Dewalt FlexVolt cordless power tools, the batteries, and the accessories – I’ve mainly just used the saw blades so far – are working great too.

The microsite also shows a number of FlexVolt vs. Milwaukee M18 comparisons. I don’t remember seeing these before, so they’re all new to me. What’s interesting is that the comparisons are all made with the Dewalt tools equipped with the new 9.0Ah battery pack, and the Milwaukee tools equipped with their recent 9.0Ah HD battery pack.

Previously, Milwaukee’s microsite had compared their M18 9.0Ah battery to Dewalt’s 6.0Ah, to show competitive advantage. So I guess it’s only fair for Dewalt to pick out some FlexVolt tool with 9.0Ah vs. M18 tool with 9.0Ah comparisons in return.

Have you had the chance to try any of Dewalt’s FlexVolt tools yet? Well, they’re EXCELLENT. From the 60V Max brushless circular saw, to the hybrid 120V Max sliding miter saw that also comes with an AC adapter.

Our verdict’s still out on the Portable Power Station, and whether it powers corded tools as well as an AC outlet, but it’s still very incredibly handy for using corded tools away from a traditional power source.

Yea, so let’s do a giveaway!!

What Can You Win?

A Dewalt FlexVolt tool or kit of your choosing, valued up to $700.

FlexVolt Options(via Amazon – take a look to see which one you might want to win)

If your pick is something that’s not available yet, you’re going to have to wait for it.

The winner can choose a different FlexVolt tool if they change their mind.

I really like the new FlexVolt cordless power tools, with the circular saw, sliding miter saw, and portable power station being my top 3 picks.

The batteries are really handy too – I’ve been using them with a 20V Max blower and a 20V Max vac. Longer runtime is nice, and the added size and weight isn’t an issue with these and certain other tools.

If I won, I’d pick the miter saw. I’m a hobby woodworker and perfect, dead-accurate cuts are super important to me. My current miter saw started making wobbly cuts and the mfgr ignored my requests for a warranty replacement, so I’ve turned to doing my crosscuts on the table saw instead. The miter saw is so much more convenient, though, and I can permanently keep a rip blade in the table saw if I have a miter saw I can trust for accuracy.

Hi. New to the blog after note from my son. I’d go with the miter saw. More and more I’m into smaller projects with lots of detail.
Nice work here. I plan to start following you weekly.
Happy new year, everyone!

If i win i would like to have the miter saw because I recently have a proyect and I like working with woog but I only have a small circular saw which stopped me from doing bigger proyects. Wood is my passion. Thank you.

Well, this is a no-brainer for me. I’d take either the table saw or … the miter saw. And it’s not out of vanity; it’s out of necessity. My “shop,” as currently constructed, is wedged underneath a staircase on a second-story patio in the middle of Downtown Milwaukee. And while I can find ways to make-do with the elements (just installed some GP ForceField OSB with built in house wrap) to keep the rain (snow) out, the biggest obstacle I face is trying to work with just two (2) power outlets available, both of which are on the same circuit as my bedroom, hallway, and living room. So, if I want to run my table saw, miter saw or planer along my shop vac … and the “CEO” decides to turn on the lights, TV or whatever else … poof. Done. Time to dig through the utility closet and flip the switch.

Admittedly, I was long hestitant to jump on the DeWalt train. Maybe it’s just because I’m from Milwaukee, but I never saw the appeal in yellow. BUT … then I read (here) about the FlexVolt line, realized my current limitations and started to think more and more that it might be perfect for my needs.

And to top it off, I watched Jimmy DiResta use the FlexVOlt set to build a mini bridge out in the middle of nowhere on his property and I was sold.

After spending two years getting to know my tools and how to use them, I’m about to tackle my biggest project yet: completely rebuilding the staircase leading up to my deck. I’m holding out hope that Santa brings me the M18 miter but that table saw would go a long, long way to helping me cut down on fuse blows.

I volunteer my free time to building dog houses for dogs who are forced to live outdoors without shelter. Here in Texas, that means both oven and icebox extremes. I also repair fences for dog owners who cannot afford to. There are few things more heartbreaking than a family fur-member finding a hole in the fence and getting hit by a car. The portability and performance of the 12″ sliding miter saw would be gratefully accepted!

Tim, as the human of a pit bull who was forced to live outside, let me just say you’re a damn good person. I like the idea of volunteer fence repairs. I’ve been looking for a way to hook up with my local rescue and that might be a perfect fit.

Oh man, a fully functioning cordless 12” Miter Saw would be an amazing addition to the arsenal! It would sure help me get back to work on making the headboard for our Queen size bed. This is a great giveaway, Stuart!

Very generous giveaway. I would go with the compound sliding miter saw. I own a Dewalt compound miter saw today that does not slide, but it’s a great tool I use frequently. Were I to win, I’d use it in my various hobbyist projects which typically involve building furniture or outdoor structures. Great blog, very useful!

I would want the Circular Saw with 2 Batteries. I would use this for the 2 projects I have coming up, or in other words keep putting off. Rebuilding the front deck on my house and knocking down and replacing a load bearing wall in the garage to open up more shop space.

The table saw. Paired with a smaller grinder or the planer if such a kit exists.

It should help me get around to the custom storage Ive been meaning to build around the house including a bed frame with drawers. Our house is 1000 sq ft and we have 4 people living here for at least 12 more years so every inch matters.

Stuart,
What an awesome way to promote the site! I would love the flex volt sliding miter saw, battery and cord performance is awesome, wishare lot other other high power tools had the flexibility of this. I would use it for installing hardwood flooring in my bonus room along with the stairs, flooring some additional attic space and a deck off my kitchen. Lots to do!

I’m a huge DeWalt fan and these new FLEXVOLT tools are making my mouth water!

I would be all over the drill/impact driver combo. I currently have a DeWalt 18v impact driver and drill but the batteries are struggling and the tools have seen better days. I just can’t get myself to spend the money on new batteries when I should really upgrade to 20v.

I would love to win the 12″ sliding compound mitre saw. As for what I would use it for… well i would say that is obvious. EVERYTHING. My wife makes bread… bread meet saw! Joking but seriously anything I do with wood would most likely make use of that saw. I do work with junk pallet wood for tool boxes with the kids and also making hunting stands with my dad. This would make everything better. If not I would love a good quality circular saw.

What a great giveaway! The 790 mitre saw is easily my choice; I have a number of projects to use it on from basement developments to deck building. Since I currently don’t have a mitre saw at all it’s one of the few kits out there that wouldn’t be supplementary or replacing an existing tool in my collection.

This year was the perfect time to make the switch to Yellow. I have a couple FV tools (circular, recip) plus the drill/driver kit and I’ve been watching and waiting for the upcoming OPE line.

If it’s allowed, I would wait until Spring for the chainsaw. My next FV purchase is likely to be the PowerStation, so that’d be #2 on my list if an option. Third would be to replace my aging miter saw. So many options!!

What a great giveaway, Stuart. It’s like dreaming about winning the lottery 🙂

I would chose the 12″ Fixed Head Compound Miter Saw, DHS716. This saw is lighter than the slider and has plenty of capacity for most uses.

I need to finish my girls’ tree house/playset and this would certainly give me the motivation required and speed the job up. I also would like to built a large shed/workshop soon which this tool would come in handy for.

I’d say the table saw. My family recently started a business and this winter I’ll be finishing out the tasting room. The table saw would be great for ripping reclaimed wood to do a really cool facade on the bar!

The table saw is the apple of my eye. I currently do not have a table saw and am trying to tackle more and more household projects myself. I want to install crown moulding this spring and would use the table saw to rip 2X4’s for furring strips. I do a lot of ripping of plywood as well.

I actually just bought the DWS779 saw, but the Flex Volt miter saw has had my eye this whole holiday season. I’m just a DIY guy, so I couldn’t justify the cost (especially after waiting around and missing the black friday pricing). I’d definitely want that one, and use that as the excuse to get more into the rest of the tool line

The 120v saw with cord option has my interest along with the blower and chainsaw

Thanks for doing what you do. I had a real hard time finding Black Friday deals and being confident about the actual deals until I ran across your site. I used he heck out of the $25 off $100 Amazon deal and landed my self top of the line brushless drills to replace my Ryobi stuff. I’m glad I found your site this year. You helped me blow > $1000 on my self and Dewalt tools this year.

I use them to work on our trucks LORENZindustries.com and our Kawasaki’s and to help build archery stuff for the family so far. True blower would have a permanent spot in the race trailer.

The table saw or miter saw would be great. I occasionally do projects around town where I need these 2 items and often times we are flipping a house that doesn’t have power so we have to bring in a generator. Having battery power would be incredible!

DEWALT DHS790AT2 – I’m getting ready to tear into our basement and have been lacking a significant tool in the tool chest. This piece would help me handle the renovation that my man cave so desperately needs.

I would have to say the table saw, DEWALT DCS7485T1 FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Table Saw Kit, 8-1/4. I am a beginning wood worker and my next purchase is going to be a table saw. I have an child that is on the autistic spectrum and my goals is to build a loft bed for her with a sensory area underneath for her to use.

I feel like I might be cheating myself by not getting one of the more expensive options that everyone else has requested, but I’d use the Brushless 7-1/4″ Circular Saw, DCS575, WAY more. I seem to find a way to use a circular saw in almost every project I get myself into! Maybe ToolGuyd would kick in an extra battery if one of us more frugal readers win?

The Dewalt DHS790AT2 Compound Sliding Miter Saw Kit would be awesome to have. It would be great to have a nice 12″ sliding miter as I am getting more into fine woodworking. My wife is also bugging me to install crown and chair molding all over the house. It would be also great not having to be tied to just a cord or battery.

I’m going to buck the trend and plump for the Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo.
Why? Well firstly I’m in the UK (with a US address) and most of the dedicated 60V / 120V stuff would be a little wasteful for me. But mainly, my 20V/18V kit started out with a hammer drill and an impact driver and slowly expanded. That original kit is still running but now needs to be upgraded and moved on.
Getting the 60V battery would be a bonus for me.

I would take the sliding miter saw. I live in a rural area and always get talked into helping friends build their pole barns… in the middle of a field, with no electricity. I helped with two last year and I already have someone in line for summer of 2017.

I would have to say the 12″ sliding compound miter saw, for just the ease of setup and use. I’m typically doing trim carpentry and in reno’s or new construction and one of the most common problems I run into is a power source (especially when the electricians have yet to get all the outlets live). And besides that moving the setup from room to room or even outside for siding work or decking without having the hassle of running cords would be be highly beneficial.

Yes, it means more to me to have you sponsor the give away. It’s a nice way to give back to your community of readers. I would choose the sliding miter saw kit. I love the fact that it can be powered by battery or AC. I have been promising my mom that I would create a finished space in her basement. Nothing fancy. Just a neater area for extra storage. The miter saw would definitely come in handy for that project.

I would get the sliding compound miter saw because the miter saw I have is a hand me down with frayed cord that only works once in a while and is VERY loud (I share a basement with my upstairs neighbor, who has a new born, so the fact that it is cordless means I can take it outside and not be underneath the babys room).

The sliding miter saw hybrid (DEWALT DHS790AT2 FLEXVOLT) – it would be perfect to take with me for helping friends on their projects, and it provides a nice entry into the entire system. Flexvolt seems like a compelling setup for tools that really need power, and I like the hybrid approach for times when portability isn’t required.

I also have family members who want my help building some walls and other remodeling work. Simply packing up the saw and using it from the back of my Subaru sounds really handy!

I would like the 8-1/4″ Cordless Table Saw, DCS7485. This would help me build an outdoor kitchen in addition to new shelves in the pantry and bathrooms. This would be my first saw. I have been borrowing equipment and haven’t broken down and purchased any for myself. I think it would be the most useful starter piece in my new hobby in building things. Ideally, it would be a track saw, but this is the next best thing.

I’d have to go with the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I’m 25 and working through a electrical apprenticeship. This would definitely help with all the side and odd jobs I do & most definitely with the additions and Reno’s around the house. although the hammer drill and impact would be a nice upgrade for my day to day use anyway good luck everyone

HANDS DOWN – THE GREATEST GIVEAWAY IN THE WORLD!!! I would have to go for the table saw… i’ve been ripping 8 foot pieces of door trim with my m12 circular and jig saw – i ‘ve never used so much caulking in my life…

I definitely want the Compound Sliding Miter Saw Kit. It would be a huge help in finishing up all the molding, trim, and floors on all 3 floors of my house. I only have a cheap table saw that is a pain to lug outside and set up, the miter saw would be the way to go!

Oh man, great giveaway! I’d have to go with either the table saw or sliding miter saw…as both of my current hand-me-down saws are on their last legs. I would use the new saw to build much needed radiator covers so my baby boy doesn’t burn himself once he starts crawling around. There’s also a closet rebuild and storage bench that my wife has been craving. Oh, my sister has been begging for some custom built-ins around her fireplace, and my parents really need a new deck. The list goes on and on and on. Good luck out there!

For me it would be the table saw or the sliding miter saw. Both are tools I’m missing from my home shop, and to add to the fact that it’s portable is a bonus. The sliding miter saw would be just as useful, if not more than table saw. I’ve counted the times I’ve needed to rip a board and it hasn’t justified me purchasing a table saw yet. On the other hand, I do have a miter saw (a cheap-o used one I got from craigslist. Tool Shop brand [Menards]), it just doesn’t slide, so to add that feature to my cuts rather than *GASP*, flipping the board over, would be nice. I’m currently in the middle of finishing my basement. Not sure how much wood work there is to do. Trim work for sure later. Drywall is the next step actually. So while neither of these tools would be specifically for that, in the near future, they will get some use!

The sliding miter saw is very appealing, but I use my drill and impact so much more, and they’re pretty long in the tooth. I would get the DEWALT DCK299D1T1 20V MAX FLEXVOLT Brushless Premium Hammer Drill and Impact Combo Kit. My old 18v DeWalts are still running, but not as strong as they once were, and I end up having to do A LOT of battery swaps because of the battery life. Aside from what seems like never-ending home projects and volunteer projects, I’m finally able to get my mancave/shop space project going. And yes, I may draw and plan, but I also build and redo because it’s my space.

Definitely the Sliding Compound Miter Saw. Of all of the tools offered, it is the only one I don’t have at least some (cheap) version of in my shop. I’d use it to build all of those projects my wife wants for our 5 month old.

The DHS790 Sliding Miter Saw would definitely be my first choice and the DCL070 Bluetooth Area Worklight would definitely be my second choice.

I am slowing redoing my garage. So the miter saw would definitely see it use there. I need to build a custom bed frame/rail at some point so that’s also on the list. The light would be use to impress my lady tiger and our friend when we host party :)))

I’d go with the Mitre saw or the Table saw. As a newish homeowner, of an old home, that rented for a long time, I’m at the point where I’m running into projects that a drill doesn’t cut it anymore. I have trim that I want to replace because it doesn’t match the rest of the house and was put up poorly. I’m also starting to think of gutting the kitchen.

Honestly I think it’s awesome what you’re doing. I like the reviews and the deals have saved me so much money in the past year. That miter saw kit would be a great starter for me, I could use it to finally start that shed I’ve always wanted to build with my dad.

The flexvolt miter would be great addition for my summer shed project and habitat for humanity volunteering as well. Love the flexibility of going cordless for new house volunteering and corded on repairs with homes with existing power.

Although the table saw is tempting, how can I resist Stuart’s assessment of the DHS790AT2—”The saw is pricey, but it’s also the best miter saw I’ve ever used”—particularly when a giveaway obviates the price?! As a DIY user I have not been able to justify the switch yet, but the logic is inescapable, since I do about half my woodworking and construction at our family tree farm with no grid connection. One tool that works at home, off the generator, or off batteries would be amazing.
Like others, I love the giveaway and have no objections to the ad-tie: as Dennis said, that is how the internet works, and this site is more forthright and thoughtful about the connection between readers, ads, and revenue than any other I regularly use. Thanks for doing this!

I work w/Habitat For Humanity who will acquire a vacant/foreclosed home, tear it down to the studs and rebuild it for a qualified family in need. Fooling with generators, air compressors and all the associated cords and hoses is, as I’m sure all of you know, a PITA. Since I’d be starting from zero, any FlexVolt tool would be welcome but if I had to put them in order of need/usefulness, I’d say #1 Circular, #2 Recip, #3 Miter and #4 Table Saw. I’ve been reading reviews, specs, watching YouTube videos trying to decide whether to go team Yellow, Red, etc. Winning this promotion would tip the scales for me. And, my “OMG LOOK WHAT I WON!” face will not disappoint.

When Home Depot was running their buy a flexvolt tool get a free battery, Dewalt did an in-store promo that threw in the DCD996. Great deal. Anyway- point is, I chose the circular saw and it has some GRUNT. I love the 20V max circ, but the flexvolt is incredibly more powerful.

I am extremely excited about the releases in 2017. Can’t wait for the flexvolt lawn/garden stuff and still hoping to see the 20V brad/pin nailers that I have to believe are coming.

For the giveaway I would be interested in the double bevel compound miter saw. A very close second is the power station. What a great idea.

I use all my 20V stuff in housing remodels and anticipate purchasing a cabin or land with a cabin in the coming year or two and the freedom that battery-powered tools give would be priceless out in the bush. Even at jobsites, I love not having cords and hoses strung all over creating trip hazards. So glad that dewalt has found the way to do all this with batteries. (remember the old NiCad 18 stuff? you could saw for just a few passes before you were done)

First thank you for doing this giveaway. I am ok with the sponcered adds and I agree a giveaway means more when you give it away. I am most interested in the 790 mitersaw. With its dual bevel and sliding features it would most benefit me in doing fence and decks. I like that it has an adapter that can be plugged into an outlet as well.

The Sliding Compound Miter Saw would be my choice. I don’t have a Miter Saw and we just bought a new house with an unfinished basement. A miter saw would really come in handy to get the basement finished!

Either the table saw or miter saw. I’d use it to build furniture, as well as maybe help my dad put a fence around his property, where power outlets may be hard to find. however, the portable power station looks like it could help with this option, and be more versatile overall since I could use other corded tools in the field as well.

First off I have to say I love your site and things you put up and thanks for the opportunity. I would love to get the miter box. I work for a company that provides a lot of the tools but my goal in the next couple years is to start my own business. To do that o am going to need my own miter box. Starting my own business is something I have wanted to do for a while now and this would make it a little easier to do. Plus I could use it on the side work I have until I completely go out on my own.

Wow a portable table saw sure would be nice to keep all that saw dust out of the house and it would provide the flexibility to move it near the project site/area.
Always doing volunteer work at the ball field and this would be great to for deck repairs, dugout roofing, snack bar shelving etc …

I’ve got to say this is why I love this site. Instead of doing what almost every site would do, you’re taking the ad revenue and giving it right back to your readers. Awesome! It’s quite commendable in this day.

As a homeowner/diy’er rebuilding our house I could use just about any tool so dealer’s choice (obviously the table saw or miter would be awesome but every bit helps).

I’d wouldn’t mind having the circular saw; my old Dewalt cordless isnt cutting it….. and i need a Jig saw (old one broke). I need to build a deck in the spring so any upgrades to my current 18 v tool set is a plus.

I love the way you are doing this giveaway. Like you said it is more personable for you and the winner gets their choice. How could it be any better?

I would like the 12″ sliding miter saw to replace my old 10″ Skil non sliding miter saw. Having the cordless option would allow me to take it outside to use when weather permits. I have a couple outside projects lined up for next spring that this would be ideal for.

Toolguyd quickly becomes my daily must-read site. Sometimes, multiple times a day. Keep up the great work! I would love the 12″ sliding miter saw. Just bought a house to fit my growing family, 3 years old boy and 9 mos old daughter. Will use the miter saw to remodel the interiors, new flooring, new doors, new trims. I like the cordless option because in my opinion it is safer for household with children. You can lock up the batteries and make dangerous power tool like miter saw, table saw inoperable. Of course, you can lock the garage/shop, but hey, every once in a while, you may forget to lock a door, right? It’s nice to have a peace of mind. Thank you.

The compound sliding miter saw would be the choice. It allows such flexibility with not only the double battery pack, but also the being able to use wall a/c adapter. Benefit of the capacity for batteries on 20v tools is huge. Circular saw could be a game changer…as some 18v can seem underpowered. A 12″ slider allows the ability to cut so much.

This contest would help me out because I’m in need of a cordless table saw while building a off grid retirement home. I have a cordless Milwaukee mitre saw but they do not make a table saw. The dewalt 60 volt table saw would be a great addition and make it a lot easier with the construction. There will be no power at the site and no generators allowed. I will have a voltage converter in my truck to power battery rechargers as needed. I’m hoping that the new 60/20 volt battery will hold a long charge during the days use and recharge on the drive back in my truck.

I just bought my first house and it’s a real fixer-upper. There are many projects that it would be useful for, like installing new hardwood flooring, building a deck, complete bathroom remodels and all of the furniture that I have plans to build to fill it up.

I would definitely go for the miter saw. The AC/DC versatility would be extremely handy at work and at home…no cords for the kiddos to trip over at home and setup versatility at work. I would use it for molding and framing construction, especially a nice big deck addition.

I could totally use the DHS790AT2 miter saw, as the wife and I are about to redo all of the flooring the house, and currently lack any variety of miter or table saw for the flooring and trim we are replacing.

the table saw would be amazing addition to the Arsenal of tools devoted to the never ending “honey do” list!! the list has no end in the near future and im wearing out my tools. i would be in heaven with the miter saw as well…seeing as how mine is on the way out to toolbox heaven.

Good Luck gentleman…thanks for the opportunity to enter for a chance to take home an amazing tool!

And the first large project I would probably use it for is a large shed build I wish to do in my back yard this spring / summer. I desperately need some work and storage space. This would be perfect for helpng me out.

I’ve been visiting the site almost daily for over a year. Tough to say what I would choose, probably the sliding miter saw or table saw. Might also chose some of the smaller hand tools to replace my 18V Dewalt cordless tools. Working on finishing the basement, then will move on to redoing the master bedroom closet and upgrading the garage.

That circular saw has been on my radar for a bit now. I work as a project manager/superintendent for a residential contractor and am always needing to do a bit of work outside the scope of our subs. Dragging out extension cords to make *adjustments* when there isn’t even temporary power on the site is a huge headache. DeWalt tools have been great to me so far for my home shop and I would love to drag them with me daily as well.

It would definitely be the DEWALT DHS790AT2 due to the fact that I’ve been delaying a crown molding installation project in my home for a couple of months now. (whole house from scratch)
The lack of a compound Miter saw being the main reason for said delay.

And hey, having this tool would allow me to continue woodworking during a blackout! how cool is that? 🙂

Definitely the DHS790 sliding miter saw – the robotics team I mentor is using my old one to cut aluminum extrusion in their shop, it’d be nice to not have to lug it back and forth when I have a need to cut something here at the house!

Without a doubt the flexvolt sliding miter saw kit. I have limited space in my home so my shop is in my yard shed. At the moment it doesn’t have ac power so the need for a cordless miter saw is at or near the top.
The power source would be just as useful but I do plan on running power to my shed so the miter saw with the ac adapter would be an amazing addition to my setup.
I like to build my own furniture so a cordless 60v orbital sander would be great a great addition as well , but as far as I know the do not plan on bringing one out.
With that said I have mostly every cordless tool I need but the miter saw would be a huge addition for when I build a new deck for my home and some benches for my shop.

First, thank you for hosting the giveaway. It’s certainly a generous way to look at taking on an advertisement.

I would pick the table saw, without a doubt. I don’t have a garage and My “shop” is a small shed attached to my house that’s approximately 10-15. It has electricity but no heat (it gets chilly out there). Right now I’m ripping boards the old fashion way (circular saw, a straight edge, and clamps). To have a cordless table saw that I can use for ripping boards, making dado’s rabbits, and countless other items would unlock so many possibilities as well as keep things portable enough for me to do the projects I’m working on wherever it’s most convieniet. I’m a DIYer fixing up a 1955 home that hasn’t been updated since the 70’s. A fun project, but one made difficult without the right tools.

The first project id do is re-build he kitchen pinsuela the previous homeowners tore out “because it fit two stools and we had 3 kids”. My wife is dying for the counter space, with this saw, I’ll be able to build it.

Wow very generous of you dude! At first I wasn’t optimistic about flex volt, I sold what I had in dewalt and affirmed myself in the m18 line, I had half and half but went all in red, I didn’t want to have to buy more batteries to use a brushless circular saw or to have a better recip saw, so I wasn’t happy and maybe was a little rash but I don’t regret it. Now with their smaller portable tools I still think they should have stayed with 20v but their bigger stationary tools and even the stud drill the battery makes sense and is proven. The tools are nice quality and really do replace a cord rather than supplementing it. So the obvious choice for me would be the miter saw.

I would love to have the FLEXVOLT Stud Joist Drill Kit and whatever else to reach $700. I would be able to use this to finish out the attic above my garage for running new conduit for lights and also for pex lines.

I would love to have the FLEXVOLT Stud Joist Drill Kit and whatever else to reach $700. I would be able to use this to finish out the attic above my garage for running new conduit for lights and also for pex lines!

Thanks so much for this site. I don’t reply to your posts but I want you to know that I do check your website almost daily for the reviews. It’s one of the few go-to site that I regularly check. Thanks for this great offer! I am just about to start my basement remodel and would love to update my old (but still working) Dewalt cordless drill set with their newer MAX FLEXVOLT Brushless Premium Hammer Drill and Impact Combo Kit. I can then hand down my current cordless to my wee lad as a way to get him to help with the project.

I would love the miter saw!!! It would be soo awesome not to have to worry about an extension cord that people are always tripping over and would work awesome next to my x carve system when it arrives!!

For me, I would use the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790. I’ve been thinking about getting one. My current Dewalt 12inch Miter Saw is old enough to drive and the runout has gotten progressively worse in the last year.

I am currently building an entertainment center for my wife (of course I’ve been at 90% done for a month) and doing home improvements for my father who, while having a kidney with cancer removed had a heart attack. He was hospitalized from just before Thanksgiving until today actually. He needs all the doorways in his house widened, his bathroom redone so he can get a walker / wheel chair inside.

The battery operated nature would be very handy for transporting between locations (my house and his house) and using while I have the electricity shut off (since switches are always beside the doorways that need widening).

I’d actually go for the 60V recip saw. I’m not on the move enough to justify a cordless miter saw, but I see a big gap between my current corded recip saw and my 20V Porter-Cable recip saw.

The corded obviously has enough power for everything like extended demo, pallet demolishing and general shop use, but at the cost of dragging a 100-foot extension everywhere. The PC is good for limited use cutting pipe or trimming bushes, but I’d love to have one tool to do everything.

Given that a recip saw is a tool that you’re normally holding free while you’re using it, I see it being the best use of DeWalt’s new linup. Not to mention, I’d love to take it up a tree and prune some branches without having to haul a hacksaw up there.

Recently graduated as a Journeyman Carpenter and now have the life long task of making everyone who believed in me proud and also of being proud of everything I build. That sliding compound saw would allow me to start this journey with one mighty jump.

Love this idea and the transparency you always have about sponsored stuff, Stuart – that’s a huge reason I trust your site like I do.

I’d like the Table Saw. It’s a tool I don’t have in any form yet and the portability of that one would be fantastic for me, as I use my garage as a garage and don’t yet have a dedicated woodworking area. This would definitely prod me to start making the Lazy Susan for Shoes my wife has been asking for and a lot of other projects.

Thanks for the giveaway! I’ve been very impressed over the years with how much you give away…whether or not it’s provided by the company, or you foot the bill yourself.

I’ve love to try the 60v circular saw. I’ve always balked at the cordless “high draw” tools, but after trying my Dad’s cordless Milwaukee cordless circular a while ago, I was impressed. So often, it’s a huge pain to drag an extension cord somewhere for 10 seconds of cutting!

I’d also enjoy the 6″ grinder, or recip saw, as these would definitely benefit from the portability as well.

I’d use the table saw for projects for my newborn daughters nursery and outdoor playground my son has been asking for. Currentyly I do all my ripping using a Kreg sled and my Makita circular saw. Having a table saw would simplify these upcoming projects.

I would go for the portable power station. I’d use it on some job sites where too many trades are using the few outlets that we have. It would replace a lot of cords. I wouldn’t mind buying some extra batteries since I already have the flexvolt double bevel saw.

So needless to say, my holiday tool buying budget has been unexpectedly diverted. I snuck in a few small buys this year. But mostly I come here daily experience the holiday deals vicariously. Wasn’t expecting a give away. Nice holiday surprise.

Wow, simply WOW!!!! I humbly toss my hat in the ring…. I just yesterday bought a Hitachi miter, simply couldn’t justify the FlexVolt cost, but really wanted it. The next tool I need is a table saw but if I really wanted a fun toy it would definitely be the portable power center! I wish to you and your families, Stuart, Benjamin, and all the ToolGuyd readers a very special and Merry Christmas!

I would definitely go for the mitre saw setup. I have 2 decks that need rebuilding and that would be the perfect rig to get it done in a hurry. Maybe I would give it to my dad after I was done so he could do some work on rebuilding some tree stands. This would be the perfect setup to use out in the woods.

It would be hard to pass on the potential new dualbevel sliding mitre saw. I love my old makita, but the ability to cut trim anywhere would be a gift from the gods! No more stringing a daisy chain of extension cords, or long walks from the room I’m working in to the garage with the only powered outlet in the place!

I’d choose one of the miter saws. Whether I pick the DHS790 or DHS716 depends on whether the DHS790 will comfortably fit on my rotating miter saw/planer table. It would be replacing a corded DW716 saw. I’m not near my garage so I can’t measure to see if there’s enough clearance for the table to rotate with a DHS790.

What would I do with it? Well, first off, it would give me a reason to start buying into the Dewalt battery ecosystem (presently, my cordless tools are of the big red M12 variety). But to answer the question…while I occasionally do construction type projects with it (used it last summer when replacing my deck railing and balusters), I mostly use it for woodworking when I’m preparing rough-cut lumber for a project. It’s a lot easier (and safer) to cross-cut long boards to approx length on the miter saw and then do final cuts later on the table saw after the board has been jointed and surfaced.

I would definitely love to receive the sliding compound miter saw in this giveaway. We have a new baby on the way and it would be a huge help in getting his room ready as well as being a tremendous aid in getting my business off its feet. Thank you for offering up such a generous giveaway!

Wow there are so many wonderful items I would love to have; however if I just got to pick one I would pick the circular saw. If there was a chance to pick multiple items of course I would pick a few other items. :).

I have the privilege to work at a youth summer camp through out the year and there are lots of work to do and sometimes not power to use a corded tools. Honestly any tool would be helpful, especially the 1800w power source for the corded tools.

I would choose the miter saw. I currently own the Dewalt 713 10″ Miter Saw and I’ve hit a limitation of what it can do. I was trying to cut 1 x 8 and 1 x10s with it to make drawers, for a desk that I’m making for my wife, and it was a difficult process trying to cut the piece on one side, flip it around, and find the exact same spot. I never quite managed it so I had to use a lot of sanding in order to smooth out each side. With my woodworking needs steadily increasing, a 12″ miter saw would cover my needs for the foreseeable future.

The 12″ Sliding Miter Saw would be unbelievably helpful. I’ve had my eye on it since they introduced it. First project would either be replacing our deck/back porch at my house or helping one of my brothers finish building out his garage.

I have a few 20v DeWalt tools, all of which I love. I’d love to get ahold of the 4.5″-6″ 60v grinder because a lot of my free time is spend either working on old vehicles or fabricating something in my shop

Yes! I would instantly choose the reciprocating saw. I currently do pruning work by hand; I tried an 18V but it wasn’t strong enough for wet hardwood and batteries would die after a couple of minutes.
I’m eyeballing this saw for quite some time but I can’t justify the price because I bought into another brands batteries. But this kit as a starter would change things!

I’ve got most of the 20v tools; but I would love to add the 60V Circular Saw to my collection! The DeWalt brushless tools are fantastic. I’ve tried my buddy’s 18V circular saw which is ok; but I think with the added power this one would be much better.

I’d love the Dewalt flexvolt miter saw. I’d love it for its ease of use, it being cordless an I’ve been wanting a miter saw for so long, seeing this makes me hope I’ll win. I’d use it for my projects I need to accomplish yet, an working towards having my own construction company soon.

I want all the 60V stuff. Maybe the grinder and rotary hammer would be first my first pick to use for all kinds of tile work. The ability to work cord free without a performance dip would increase productivity immensely on so many tile tear outs and installs! Or the table saw would be great too for flooring work! Easy to move along as the flooring progresses eliminating walks back to the saw. I’d love the miter saw too, but the 20v one I have now and use for flooring is knocking it out as is, so there’s no rush to upgrade there.

I would love to have the sliding miter saw. I need to redo the casings around pretty much every window in my house and this would make it so much easier. Also planning on building some shelving in a pantry and closet. Love that you’re doing this!

DHS790 sliding mitre saw would be my choice! I would use it to put a new deck on the house this summer. I saw this at Blaine’s farm & fleet a month or two back out on display. Just the ‘feel’ of it was extremely high quality. Even compared to DeWalts other mitre’s also on display. The nicest mitre saw on the market that I’ve looked at. I also love the Flexvolt brushless circular saw but the mitre is just something to behold in person.

I would really like the cordless brushless circular saw. I’ve been doing more and more repairs for customers where I only need to make a couple cuts and pulling out a cord is a real pain. Sometimes it takes more time to get setup and clean up then the work takes.

And any time saved would be more time I could spend with my wife and son

For me it would be the 7-1/4″ circular saw. I have an 18v one but it is not that great for heavy work and tends to bind/shut off if not babied. I find a portable 7-1/4 to be by far the most useful of the lot as far as every day tasks. I have a corded 12″ miter and 10″ table and rarely use them. a small cordless saw is just too convenient to grab and go. as a bonus the DCS575T1DCB606 is only $299 from homedepot and includes a second battery. so if i win, go ahead and use the leftovers to either do another give away or throw at toys for totts or a local high school’s workshop. 🙂

Hi Toolguyd 👍 love the site 👍 i would pick the “DEWALT DHS790AT2 FLEXVOLT 120v MAX 12” Double Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw Kit – 2 Battery.” I want the option to build all the furniture in my new home and this is just what i need.

I would definitely go with the miter saw. I have been slowly building a woodworking shop from mostly used tools i find on craigslist. I have a similar problem as another reader in that I only have one outlet and if I try to run two tools at once, such as a shop vac and a table saw the breaker flips. I decided I should hold off on a miter saw for that reason and I have been using a miter box and hand saw for some trim work and repairs. My life would be much easier with a flexvolt

I like miter saws!!! I love DEWALT. I share the same top three as you Stuart but my order is Portable Power Station, Sliding Miter Saw and Circular Saw. Great giveaway. I hope you get a bunch of entries.

I purchased the sliding miter saw shortly after it showed up at Home Depot and it is an excellent tool (sort of ruined my tool budget though). What I am looking forward to now is to add the DCS7485 table saw as a companion saw for the miter. I am currently renovating a WW2 era home I bought a bit over three years ago, and the flexibility of the cordless table saw would be a great asset in the process. Thanks so much for the opportunity you’re giving to all of us tool addicts who visit your site on a regular basis.

Forgot to mention that I think it is great that you are willing to pay for this out of pocket, but I don’t object to sponsors donating merchandise. In fact, I think that if you get more than five hundred entries you should request a number swag packs from Dewalt as added prize items.

I would love the miter saw! A young contractor by trade and that’s one of tools I don’t own myself (miter saw box sucks but gets the job done) and with being a family man they come first over expensive tools that I don’t necessarily need. Im usually a Milwaukee tool guy but read many many great reviews about this saw! I would love to add it to my collection and spread the word about this amazing tool through my own personal experience. I would use this saw for trim obviously and also flooring and well anything else that would make the job easier. So I’m sure after the miter saw I’ll be purchasing the table saw eventually!

Being a Milwaukee man, I’d have to go for the pieces that Milwaukee does not offer. Specifically, the cordless miter saw (DHS790) or the cordless table saw (DCS7485). I actually don’t even have a table saw. Instead, I use either a clamp guide and a circular saw, or a circular saw attachment.

Just picked up the Dewalt Flexvolt carbide hole saw kit. Would love to see how it pairs with the VSR stud and joist drill. The 20v batteries have held up surprisingly well doing rough work in near zero temps, interested in how a power hungry tool like that would hold up.

The slider would be a real treat but my first choice Flexvolt tool is the circular saw, because it seems to be the only cordless saw indistinguishable from a corded model. Even the M18 Fuel stalls out sometimes, according to reviews I’ve read.

I would love the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790. Just had triplets and am still in the midst of a full blown total gut 2nd floor Reno. This saw would make trimming much easier! Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow- this is a very generous giveaway. You seem to run your site with a high level of integrity, and bundling ads and giveaways does not detract from that.

I have a really old circular saw that I avoid using; with that said, I would love the sliding miter saw for several projects: window trim, building a frame/railing around my attic stairs, and other misc. jobs that magically get added to the list.

I would dearly love to get my hands on the grinder. The biggest thing that’s holding me back from pulling the trigger on buying one is that my current dewy batteries aren’t able to be used on it, so I’d have to get a pair of fv batteries right off the bat.

I’d also love to get the circular saw, it’s another piece that my meagre lineup doesn’t have, but again the 60v aspect pushes it down my list a bit.

I’d choose the miter saw kit. Out of the options available I am only missing a miter saw. Unfortunately the only other battery powered dewalt item I own is a heated jacket. I think it would be pretty interesting going to a restaurant and plugging myself in on a chilly day. I do wish Ridgid had a power adapter.

In essence the miter saw kit is the perfect thing. A portable mitersaw. Battery with more battery. and an interesting gadget to play with.

Very generous of you Stuart but honestly I don’t need any of these flexvolt tools.

I generally like the concept and I wouldn’t mind a flexvolt string trimmer should they make one . Out of all the Flexvolt tools, I think the only ones I could actually see myself using are the circular saw or the grinder but I wish the grinder was variable speed like my Metabo and I wish the circular saw was more of a tracksaw.

First of all I enjoy reading and comparing your reviews ToolGuyd. Also at this time of year your heads up on tool sales. I am a tool nut (so my wife says). In your giveaway featuring DeWalt tools I would love to win the portable power station PCB1800. I like to build furniture for my family. My shop at the townhouse we rent is actually a one car garage and has one electrical outlet in it. So I need a dependable power source to run a few corded tools. I have read a lot of great reviews (including yours ToolGuyd) on this DeWalt product.

What an awesome giveaway! I would want the compound sliding miter saw. I would use it to cut 1/4 round log siding for my house and complete the deck and stairs. I would also use it to assist in building projects with my students (but I will admit that this would be a pretty much me-only tool for the most part).

If I won, I would most definitely go for the Flexvolt table saw. I have an ancient Skil saw that is well past due for an upgrade. I love to build new things and absolutely enjoy any type of woodworking and construction. This would be a fantastic addition to my DeWalt tool collection.

What a fun giveaway. I hate to see you part with well earned money but I respect you for not giving stuff away non stop like some of your peers do.

If I had to choose from the list I would say the DHS790 slider. I have the 12″ Bosch GSM and it’s a great saw but it’s nearly 90 lbs and it needs to stay in the shop. The ability to run cordless and corded and at only 56 lbs is great. I love the idea of being able to make a quick cut on the tailgate with out having to dig a cord out. It’s main advantage is for small tasks where you want to get in and out. I still think a cordless 8 1/2″ is more practical for the weight but they stopped selling them for a reason.

On a side note I was very surprised to see the cordless plunge saw in that promo pic. Very interested in it also.

I’d have to go for the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw DHS790. Purely because it is the most flexible tool of the bunch. As a soon to be homeowner I can’t even begin to list the ways in which I could use such a versatile tool. Between the battery power, and the plug in source, I have ultimate flexibility. I really wish more tool companies did this.

I am looking to start a church group that helps elderly and people who are in the hospital by fixing up the items at their house that are in need of repair. The best tool in the package would probably be the miter saw. It would allow me to bring it to a persons home and not have to have power near where the repair is needed to be done.

Man this is such a cool giveaway. The tablesaw is so tempting, but the sliding miter saw is much higher on the need list. My current craftsman model leaves a lot to be desired in the accuracy department, and bringing a self employed contractor I need my tools to work, period. The cordless/corded option has to be one of the biggest game changers this industry has seen since the impact driver

If I won this very generous giveaway, I would ask for the flexvolt mitersaw. The reason I would choose this is because I accidentally broke my fathers Ryobi miter saw and have been looking for a replacement for him.

If I won I would choose the 12″ Fixed Head Compound Miter Saw, DHS716 because I’m setting up a woodshop and am in need of a high quality miter saw that will last and that I can teach my young son the art and craft of woodworking with.

This is real nice, thank you Stuart.
For me, I do not have anything dewalt, so it would be my first. I could use the flexvolt bluetooth light kit. I always seem to have to fix things in the dark, and this will beat a headlamp and flashlight.

I’d be really excited to get the table saw. I’ve been wanting a contractor table saw that I can put in the back of the truck. However, I’d be excited to win anything–so you can surprise me & pick something for me. Thank you for your hard work. I love the website.

I would love to win the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw kit. I have one on my wishlist even if I don’t win. I’m planning on doing hard wood floors in my house and would get a lot of use out of it for that. I’m also planning on redoing the railings on my front porch and would love one for that.

If I won I would like the 120V Max 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790. I am a teacher and I plan to remodel my bathroom myself this summer and I think this tool would be very handy. I very much enjoy reading your site. I typically look at it at least once per day. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas!

I could definitely use the grinder and the stud drill. I use corded grinders for everything to cleaning welds, leveling concrete and cutting tile. I’ve desperately wanted a cordless one for some time, but was always discouraged by run time and power until now. The stud drill would be great to have the power to drill large holes that I usually overwhelm underpowered tools with. Fingers crossed!!

Like so many others, I’d like to enter for a chance to win a sliding miter saw! What would it get used for? Well, there’s the project house 90 minutes from me that I can only get to every 4 months or so (time off is almost nonexistent for a Drill Sergeant); the upcoming remodel of my in-laws’ kitchen, that may become my brother’s job if it isn’t finished before the next training cycle; and the post-retirement remodel of my own house (thankfully one of the few spared from the Baton Rouge area flooding back in August).

I have to echo many others here and go for the sliding compound miter saw.
I’m in the process of building a ramp for my girlfriend so she can get into our back yard, and it would be exceptionally useful for making the framing and supports.

Wow! What an awesome give away. After a recent career change I would have to go with the power station so I wouldn’t have to rely on power related issues while on the job site. I can keep on rockin out at what I do best and not sit around and wait or be held up because of someone else. Thanks for the opportunity!

Sliding miter saw for me…..or maybe the tablesaw. After a career in metal working, i’m getting into woodworking. I had an old B&D TS750 benchtop table saw that finally gave up several years ago. Yeah, I could get lots of use with a saw either sliding miter or tablesaw.
I’ll echo the sentiments of many others. Thank you Stu for your generousity and an excellent site. On that note, I wonder how much money is spent on tools by folks after reading your site? I’m guilty of whipping out the credit card after reading.

If I won I would want the 8-1/4″ Cordless Table Saw, DCS7485 kit. I just got into woodworking and as such I don’t have a table saw yet. It would really help with things that a miter saw can’t do like cut thin strips or shallow cuts. Plus the fact that it’s cordless would help a lot in my shop because I’m in a small 10’x 27′ one car garage as a shop and it only has 4 outlets that are all on the same wall and share a single 20A breaker so the more battery powered tools the easier I can get my projects done.

I would pick the compound miter saw, I live in NYC for a scenery construction company and this would help so much for on site builds which usually are out in the middle of a venue or Times Square or a roof top and there is always a power outlet issue , hundreds of feet of extension cords get heavy

The selection would be hard but I would without hesitation pick the Flexvolt Miter Saw. My wife has a list of items that seems a mile long (much better than a list of 0 and her hiring it out!). I enjoy doing it tough. My first task would be to redo the trim on our windows in a traditional manner with stool, apron the whole works. Great system and thanks for putting this on.

I’m about to buy my first house, naturally a fixer-upper and I’d love the flexvolt miter saw! Just thinking about having a cordless miter saw gets me excited! I could use it for everything from framing a new and larger shed for firewood to finishing all the door casings and mouldings in the house when I’m done!

I would really love to win the miter saw. I would use it to trim out houses every day since that is what I do for a living. If I do win I can stop using my miter box I made with a hand saw to stop cutting baseboard. Which will also be great so I wouldn’t have to borrow a fellow employee saw every time there is big molding

If I won this incredible giveaway, I would definitely choose the Cordless Table Saw kit! My humble shop is out in my garage that’s on a single outlet. To run my shop vac along with any other tool I use an extension cord from the house that’s on a different breaker, and even then my old table saw trips the power! Nothing is scarier than carefully ripping stock and the lights going out. You hold dead still until the blade stops moving and then count all your fingers as you trudge through the house to the basement!

Very cool that you’re going the non-paid route. But honestly I love this site so I’d come back anyway. For the giveaway, I’d have to go with the table saw. I love the concept. A time or two I’ve fired up my contractor saw at someone else’s house only to have the breaker trip…ugh.

I would love to get the brushless circular saw kit. (DCS575T2 FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Brushless Circular Saw with Brake and 2 Battery Kit, 7-1/4″). If I won this I would use it to build some shelving and a workbench in my small garage. I traded in my truck so this saw would also be great for trimming lumber to fit in my midsized suv. 2 batteries would give my the comfort as well when doing projects to know I can get the job done if 1 battery is depleted.

Id like the circular saw. Need a good saw to break down sheet goods for my laundry room cabinetry project, and would like a lighter option than my current hypoid saw. I could use it for my pergola project slated to be started in the fall. A lot of my tools are yellow and black. It would match nicely.

I would absolutely love the sliding compound miter saw! The cut size and cordless versatility would be right at home in my various work sites. I build sets for commercials on location with regularity, though the saw’s first task would be to out fit my 53′ prop trailer as I advance from my regular gig as Assistant Prop Master on a network TV show to being the Prop Master of my own show in the New Year.

I would pick the circular saw and reciprocating saw, or the miter saw. I would use the circular saw with my regular woodworking and the reciprocating saw would be used from everything from demo to pruning trees. It would be hard to not pick the miter saw though. The ability to run on power or battery would be of great use for diy projects around the house. Either would help in rebuilding my grandparents dock.

Love your reviews, as I am a woodworker/cabinetmaker, using hand tools every day. I would put the cordless table saw to use every day on the job site, great for ripping toetick and similar tasks. I have a dewalt brushless impact driver and would love to have the combo hammer drill/driver. Great power, so much that my boss refers to my impact driver as my “Gatling gun”.

I’d have to go with the table saw. I’ve been drooling over this at the local home depot but can’t afford to pull the trigger atm but it’s so nice.

I just started a small flooring company last year to help bring in some extra money with the new family and would use this to cut flooring in the bed of my truck and help with all the finish work around my house.

If I won I would like the FlexVolt Table Saw; I have a small shop/garage that only has a 15A breaker so the more tools that are cordless the better. I need a table saw to rip smaller sizes that can’t be easily done with a circular saw and easily cut tops off of boxes.

I would love to get my hands on the Sliding miter saw. It would be awesome to have the ability to not need an outlet to use but also be able to plug it in should the need arise. I would also love to increase my current cut capacity of 10″ with my non sliding miter! I would come in handy when doing and type of new construction where power isn’t hooked up yet.

Wow! Thanks for the opportunity! I would definitely get the miter saw. I actually am in great need of one because I always used my dads, which is no longer possible and have been without one for quite sometime. After having one you can’t be without it! Thanks again!

Nice stack of entries you’ve got so far!!!! Here’s helping you reach 500!
I’d take the Bluetooth light kit! I can never have enough flashlights and etc
Since I usually forget about this site, I’ll have to pass on this if selected, it wouldn’t be right because I don’t regularly contribute, but I want to be able to help you reach 500!
#tiacrew baby!!

I have twin 9 year old girls who are American Ninja Warrior maniacs. The sliding miter saw would come in very handy for building the ninja warrior station I am designing for them. Many thanks for a great site, Stuart. Have a great holiday!

I think this giveaway is a great idea. As long as you’re being up front how all this is working, it’s a win-win for everyone. Personally, I’d like to win one of the 20v packages. Either the Portable Power Station, DCB1800 or the Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit, DCK299. One can never have enough batteries or power for their Dewalt tools and I’m no exception. I’ve been looking to upgrade many of my cordless tools to brushless. As a heavy DIYer, this would a great upgrade and I can let my son learn how to use the old ones without worry of breakage! Great idea, and keep up the great work!!!

I would pick the miter saw mine is getting old and being able to go with a battery is awesome. I have been to home depot to see the display . Dewalt with this dual voltage is the way to go with the high power tools . when my circular saws need to be replaced I would be able to cordless they have made plug in saws obsolete

I’d love to get my hands on that miter saw! It would be quite the upgrade from my old 10″ craftsman! My list of summer projects would certainly grow with that bad boy in the workshop. I’ve been dabbling in diy woodworking projects and home upgrades, and could put the saw to immediate use building a playroom for my 18month old boy!

Thanks for the great site, the chance to win is fun but the information found here is invaluable!!

I would go with the compound sliding compound miter saw. I’m not seeing my original reply though, where I discussed working outside. Stuart, if there’s a way to filter these by email address, I see several responses by people with the name Andrew, but not the one I wrote from this email address…. So this may or may not be a duplicate submission.

Anyway, awesome giveaway and it does seem a little nicer coming from you directly rather than from DeWalt.

The hammer drill and impact set would be an amazing addition to use at work. It would definitely help speed up the time installing big walk in coolers and freezers. Either that, or the sliding compound miter saw. It would make easy work of cutting planks for the tables I have been working on lately. Thank you for the awesome chance to win one of these!

I’d love the Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit. I am a tech theatre teacher at my High school and we are always short on drills/impact drivers and/or working batteries. We currently have a mixed platform, but we could really use a new combo to get us going.

I’ve heard rumors of the dcs520 flexvolt tracksaw coming to the US. If it does make it here I’d definitely pick that or the flexvolt circular saw since my current saw is a decades-old, hand-me-down skil.

I just won one of your giveaways so I probably should sit this one out but I just wanted to congratulate you on this awesome giveaway! I will definitely share it with other people, maybe you should do an instagram giveaway to help drive followers or at least promote it there!

12″ sliding miter saw for certain. I would get the most use out of it for my hobby projects. And given that it seems like our builder contracted to more than a few people who put the “sub” in subcontractor, I’m going to need a good one for the next few years!

If I were lucky enough to win the grand prize I would choose the DHS790AT2 Sliding Miter Saw kit. Not only would it make a square cut on a 2×4 when building a wall but it would cut a 2×12 in one easy cut with the sliding rail. Plus being able to cut endless trim and baseboard that I’m always putting up. And cordless in the deal! It would also be my first 60/120 Max tool, though those batteries would fit in my 20V Max tools for longer use.

The angle Grinder. I occasionally do some wood carving in places where I do not have reliable 120v power. An extra battery would be helpful too. I would probably add the circular saw to the collection on my own.

I would love to take home the cordless table saw or the 12″ compound sliding miter saw. An amazing DeWalt tool would really help me on continuing to pursue the passion I have for woodworking. I’m a 19 year old electrician and one day I hope to combine Borge woodworking and electrical in way never thought possible before. Revolutionary DeWalt tools would make that dream a reality.

i’m not going to write a long story of why i should win..i could, but i will just say that i would really appreciate having the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790..i thank you for what you are doing..this is my favorite site!

Got to go with the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I have been salivating at the Miter saws reviewed here for weeks without getting the necessary budget approved by the wife. It would be a nice addition to my burgeoning little garage wood working studio.

I would NOT use any dewalt tools if i won. BUT i’d rather give them to a coworker whom is a dewalt fanatic. Im know he would REALLY enjoy the grinder and the blower. He uses a grinder nearly every day and the blower for cleanup.
Lol anyways a post bump to 200!

I am moving to a new home and have a big need for reducing the pull on the electrical outlets in the new garage. Having. The new 120v miter saw would allow me to: 1. Make quick accurate cuts. 2. Save wall space for other power tools. 3. Give me a nicer battery platform for my drills and hopefully future circular saw. Having this saw would change my building capabilities which are small at the moment with the lack of needed tools. Thanks for this incredible opportunity to change the way that I can work and grow in woodworking!

I would use the cordless mitter saw for my job. I’m a finish carpenter, so what I do everyday is install doors, casings, base boards, crown molding, and trim. I also enjoy doing handy work at home, and a hobby of mine is making furniture. This saw looks very versatile, and since it’s cordless, it would definitely assist me in my everyday tasks.

I would definitely go for the miter saw. I am currently a Milwaukee user, but have really been sitting on the fence regarding their cordless miter saw offering. I am an independent contractor who relies on his tools on a daily basis, and this saw without a doubt seems better constructed than the competitors”.

I would choose the sliding compound miter saw. I will use it for both DIY and furniture building projects. I want to build some decorative shutters for the house. The large cutting width is great for cutting down rough sawn white oak to length.
Thanks Stuart!

I am going to be remodeling my basement this winter and then building a shed as soon as the snow melts. With these projects the sliding miter saw would be my choice.
Thank you for the opportunity and I have no problem with the ads. The bills have to get paid somehow and it shows that you really put thought into what ads you post.

My choice would have to be the cordless table saw. It’s the last tool in my way of complete cord & hose eradication. My 20v max 7 1/4″ miter saw, framing gun, & brushless leaf blower (perfect carpenter clean up tool) have absolutely been kicking ass for me since I bought them when they were all released.

I don’t want to be lucky; I just want to win. I want to win so I can get a miter saw for my woodworking hobby. I would choose the 12 in Dewalt Flexvolt miter saw. Right now I’m working with a hand-me-down 10 in Skil single bevel miter saw that has seen better days. This would be a HUGE upgrade for me and allow me to do some bigger furniture projects that I have been interested in for quite a while.

If you have read this far, you might as well go ahead and make I wish come true!

The fact that you’re willing to pay for the tools that you spend time promoting speaks volumes about you, to say the least, I think that this kind of attitude is the reason I like toolguyd more than any other tool blog… Speaking of Flexvolt though – I see DeWalt pouring tons of money into promoting this new platform, which is great and all but I think that the money would be better spent on the R&D, because some of the mistakes they made with these tools are unforgivable!
Let’s take the circular saw , for instance, (I only discuss the tools I either have personally or have to use at work), where is the rafter hook? Seriously, think about it: this saw Is amazing, has everything :power, ergonomics, robustness, light weight and a shoe that can take a lot of abuse for years… And no rafter hook? How about an led or a laser to show you where the cut is going? Or including a rip fence attachment into the $300 package from the get go?
The circular saw, however, is a true champ when you compare it to the reciprocating saw that, DeWalt swore, was a 15 amp-equivalent winner… Why is the blade on cheaper models able to do 4 positions and on this Brushless, heavy duty super-saw only two? And the weight of this product, where do the 3 extra pounds over what the sawzall weights come from? What about the vibration reduction? It’s nearly impossible to hold it for long periods, especially overhead, cutting rebar is a real nightmare… It’s very well made quality-wise, I think you can run it over with a tank and nothing will happen to it but damn, it’s a premium product and NO ORBITAL ACTION??? Why?..
Finally, I want to point out the simple fact that all the consumables, other than an occasional battery, are nowhere to be found at Home Depot. The Flexvolt tools are meant to be used with accessories engineered and manufactured especially for them and yet, time and time again I try to find a single blade inside the Home Depot (or anywhere else) and I am constantly referred to Amazon and other places that are not accessible via car!
I also wanted to mention the non flexvolt related issue that I have with DeWalt: the 16 ga angled nailer you guys made is pure excellence, despite the useless LED lights and the lack of a dry fire lockout, however, WHERE ARE THE NAILS? Your gun is at every single Home Depot store, some carry both bare tool and the kit, however, the angled nails that you, DeWalt, make are nowhere to be found, ever, even on the Home Depot website they’re always sold out, so we have to buy Paslode instead. When I bought this nail gun I was told that it was the single best 16 gauge nailer out there and I agree, even though there are a couple of small problems that I mentioned earlier, however, part of the buying decision was the fact that I knew I could resupply the nails at my local Home Depot store, that’s what Dewalt’s rep promised when I was on the phone with him. It might not sound like a very big deal to most but I almost lost a project because I couldn’t get nails to finish fastening the oak and got in trouble with both the property manager and the owner and I can’t afford to lose any work after being robbed twice this year, maybe if I mention this stupidity here Dewalt will actually react and send Home Depot some nails so their semi-loyal customers don’t have to complain on the excellent blog such as this one and ruin everyone’s mood!

I’d choose the table saw. There’s almost nothing I own (tool wise) that isn’t the yellow & black. Is there anything else? Thanks to the price tip you provided a few weeks ago I picked up the “special buy” 120 v sliding miter saw.
I plan to build my own home, so the table saw would get plenty of use.

Incredible Xmas present for somebody! Don’t mind at all that this tied to the advertising. You are always up front and give an honest opinion so wouldn’t be concerned if DeWalt were donating the prizes either.

I would probably choose the DCS388B because I don’t have a recip saw and I would use it frequently if I had one & the DCG414B Grinder to replace my old corded 4 inch.

Really is an awesome giveaway more like discover how to really fall in love with dewalt. I believe would honored to be gifted the 20 volt hammer drill. I’ve been working a lot with masonary and stucco around the house more so. thanks and happy holidays

If I won I would definitely have to get the table saw, becuase mine is nonexistent. I would use it to do rip cuts when I install hardwood flooring at work, but I would break it in installing my new (to me) 3/4″ solid brazilian cherry floors in my house.

i really would like to win the miter saw, mostly to replace my cheapo ryobi model. i’m a starting woodworker and i can’t spend enough time in the shop. as i’m learning i experience the limitations the budget tools have and i am slowly grading up, as my budget allows. so a free tool (any free tool) would be really welcome!

I would choose the Grinder kit. I am trying to start a welding business on the side of my normal job. This grinder is everything a welder/ fabricator has dreams about! Thank you for giving all of us the chance to win these products!

I’d go with the sliding miter saw and sell my current miter saw. After that I’d really have to think about selling my current cordless and switching to these (at least my 18volt). One of my first projects would to be to rebuild the out side of a barn in the spring. This tool would really help with that!!!

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the incredible giveaway and for all of the great information you give us here at ToolGuyd. The picture of the upcoming track saw looks very tempting, but so is the sliding miter saw. I especially like the fact that it can be used corded or cordless. I have been wanting to build some wooden toys for the kids and a worm composting bin not to mention the various projects that come up around the house. Either saw would be great as my current circular saw is corded and has a bent shoe, so I generally end up just using a hand saw.

For me it would be the 12″ sliding compound miter saw, DHS 790, I love the idea of the cutline indicator lighting system but have not had the opportunity to use one as of yet. If I were to win I would put it to good use on the addition I am putting onto my house.

Hey Stuart, great concept. Allows for more reader interaction while still keeping things impartial for your reviews. I’d have to go with the miter saw too and fill up the remaining money with batteries and grinders. Yah can never have enough grinders….or was that clamps….or was it hammers……well there are no flexvolt clamps or hammers so grinder it is!

As a new father the “honey do list” just exploded. The DHS790AT2 would go a long way to making the list easier to handle. I am currently working with a circa 1980 something Craftsman hand me down miter saw, that is truly on its last legs. The deck needs to be rebuilt, she would love a distressed wood wall in the nursery that I would like to do for my Baby girl. Not to mention in time the basement will need to be finished for a second living area. I currently has a few 20V Dewalt, tools drill/Driver and weed whip so the extra batteries would be huge. Maybe even splurge and get the wife a heated jacket, it gets cold up here in Michigan. You could single handily help make the wife much happier, as they say happy wife happy life.

The Sliding Compound saw would be AWESOME. Between home and camp, there is always a project going on. It is a pain in the but to get everything out and hooked up for a cut or two. Having it at ready access would be terrific!!

Table saw. I have the 20v miter and I use it all the time, mostly becuase its easy to quickly bring where I’m working because of both the weight and battery power. Most of the DIY projects I do have that same need for material cut on the table saw. Which means I’m constantly running back and forth to the garage to make cuts. A small battery operated table saw would be great for that work, and being that it has corded power, you’re not really comprising much. So table saw it is…

I’d probably go with the sliding compound saw. My best friend is a contractor who has been down on his luck. He has turned his life around recently and has been working with me on remodels for the last three months. He’s been buying his tools back slowly but he still needs to buy a truck so larger price tag items are out of the question. I’d give him the saw if I won it. He’d use it on all kinds of job sites and he’d love the hell out of it as he is a DeWalt guy through and through.

If I won I would like the brushless circular saw. I have been waiting for Dewalt to release a brushless version of the circular saw. I use my circular saw all the time and it would be nice not to have to drag extension cords around to where I am working.

I would use the saw for general home improvement tasks that I have been neglecting.

This is really tough… I have the DeWalt budget 20V circular saw, and I don’t particularly like it so replacing that is a natural course of action. I use that to break down plywood and for outside home improvement projects, like replacing the deck steps. I would use the new FlexVolt circular saw for the same tasks, but it’s clearly a much better tool.

That said, the VSR drill looks really cool. I don’t have much (if any?) use for it. But gee, for a giveaway prize, why not take something that I would never buy for myself, right? Of course, the sliding miter saw would also be great. Or the table saw. Or… well, all of them are great prizes. Thanks for the opportunity!

I’d take DCS575T2. Most the other tools I use work fine on 20v but I am excited to see a real 7.25″ circular saw on 60V. I need to build 4 sheds on my property so I can reclaim the garage from storage and this would be perfect for that!

Id either upgrade from my entry level miter saw to the Dewalt sliding miter saw, or the table saw. I would be using them to help build/finish my Garage so I can have a dedicated work shop space as well as somewhere to park the cars when we get crazy hail storms in Colorado.

I just want to say the website/forum are an awesome wealth of knowledge and I really appreciate the work you guys put in. Contests like this are awesome, it’s really cool seeing you guys give back like this.

I would definitely want the sliding mitre saw. I have multiple rentals that I am responsible for maintaining and portability is key. A lot of time, power has been turned off at the sites and this would allow me to perform many tasks without having to lug a generator around with me.

I’m looking to upgrade from Ryobi, i recently learned Dewalt makes more of there tools in the USA then Ryobi and feel the need to help bring back american jobs.

The HAL School Drama Set Construction Class and i would like to win the Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit! DHS790AT2. I, like John F. above, Love the fact that you can run it corded or cordless! Our builds are outdoors way from power outlet. Additionaly, with the saw we will retire our circular saw from framing duty so now all our cuts will be 90° and fit perfect.

I’d go for the miter saw; space limitations mean I have to resort to using a cheap 10″ benchtop bandsaw or a circular saw for all of my cuts and choosing between jagged, imprecise cuts or tedious setup time for just one or two cuts is starting to get to me.

I know Dewalt released their 20V Max (18V) tracksaw in Europe and I’m surprised they haven’t considered making 60V version (Would be real interesting given the power of the 7-1/4″ 60V circ) outright with some revamps to dust collection (That’s something the Dewalt tracksaw is poor at, especially compared to the Festool and Mafell).

Curiously: It looks like the 7-1/4″ circ has a little screw for attaching a dust collection fitting. Looks like they unified it with their European lineup. Milwaukee apparently doesn’t do that…

I’d definitely take the 12″ Miter Saw. A full size cordless miter saw sounds like it would the coolest and most handy tool out there! I am supposed to help a buddy finish his patio cover soon and this would be a great addition!

I am currently building an off grid home in the woods in Maine. I’ve finished all the rough framing and am starting to move onto finish work. I’d love to use the miter saw to make all the finish cuts that are needed for interior walls and trim.

I would consider either the drill and impact or the circular saw and gift them to my father in law, he is a fantastic man and a big part of my life, he could use an upgrade in tools. I have been looking at tablesaw’s, but have been unable to put together the funds to purchase one. Good luck reading all these comments

Um…can you say I’d take any of them?! What an awesome giveaway! I would definitely take the Sliding Compound Miter Saw. There are so many uses for it, and having one that awesome would tempt me to sit in my garage and cut scrap wood until the blade dulls! But, seriously, from cutting studs for framing to cutting base and other trim, this saw would be a huge asset to the work I do to provide for our family as I finish seminary. Plus, it’d be fun to make some more of the “homemade toys” with my oldest two children. My wife absolutely loves them … or not, haha!

It’s definitely hard to pick but I might go with the circular saw, my 18v dewalt circular saw is still kicking but the new one is probabky 50x more powerful. I’m currently remodeling my house and it would come in handy. The power bank also sounds like it would be a great thing to have while tailgating.

Flexvolt chainsaw! I just bought a house that needs some tree pruning. My neighbor wants my trees to die so complains, even calling the cops, about the too loud and horrific sound of my chainsaw. I CAN’T WAIT to see the look on her face using Dewalts brushless 60v chainsaw.

Just the drill and impact for me. Dck299. Need it to replace my old 18v dewalt drill from 6ish years ago. Between all my hobby woodworking and helping my dad to replace his deck boards next year it would really come in handy. The cordless circular saw would be awesome too, but I don’t want to be greedy.

I’d have to go with the sliding miter saw. I just purchased my first home and my wife’s dream has always been to have a porch swing, so the saw would facilitate that. I have ideas rolling around for built in bookshelves. I also plan on installing a lift system in my attic to facilitate storing our seasonal items. Honestly, the possibilities are endless!

I read this site religiously but have never been compelled to post… until now! What a great give away! Like many, the Sliding Mitre saw would have to be my pic. I’ve been drooling over the Milwaukee battery powered mitre saw for a while but would happily be turned to the black and yellow side of the force! Anyway thanks for all your hard work… This is, in my humble opinion, the best organized source of information and reviews for tools on the web and with or without a new “bumble bee” saw I will continue to be a dedicated follower!

I’d go for the miter saw. My FRC robotics team uses all Dewalt tools, and just got a couple new drills and lights and such, finally made the jump to lithium from the old nicad we had. But they didn’t get a new miter saw, to replace ours that can’t hold square for more more than two cuts. And worse has had so many blade changes going between wood and a non-ferrous blade for all the aluminum on the bot (and students who aren’t that careful or know what they’re doing making the change) that the arbor is close to being completely stripped. Plus the flex volt batteries would help as spares for their drills and lights when we’re not moving the miter saw around since it’s now cordless, I think right now we only have one spare battery for 3 drills, which are usually all in use simultaneously during build season.

Flexvolt double bevel sliding compound miter saw would be a great addition. I have started to build some shelves for the garage and that 16 inch rip capacity and 90 degrees would be very helpful as they are about 15 inch wide boards. I still have more to build this spring. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

Miter saw followed by the table saw. As a new first time homeowner, and of a fixer upper no less, without a lot of DIY experience, the tool collection is pretty bare. As the long list of projects is being tackled, learning new skills has being very rewarding and I have discovered I really enjoy not only the satisfaction of completing things myself and that feeling of accomplishment, but the whole process of planning and getting things done. I think all of this has tempted me to try my hand at more ambitious projects (building an outbuilding/garage maybe?) and possibly trying my hand at furniture construction. ToolGuyd was one of the resources that i came across time and time again while doing research and has become a daily staple. The community have also proven to be incredibly knowledgeable and combined with Stuart and Benjamin’s expertise, that has cultivated a truly unique resource on the web. Thanks so much guys! Enjoy the Holidays!

P.S. – I also really enjoy the posts discussing the business aspect of the decisions of the tool companies and M&As, and even your own like motives like the structure of this giveaway.

Wow very cool! I would pick the miter saw for sure. I can easily see my old 10″ non slider single bevel being replaced with this one. So much capacity! I am starting to do more and more woodworking and I can’t tell you how many times I could use a sliding miter saw for wider stock. And since my miter saw moves all over during projects, due to space needs (on the floor, on the workbench), the flexvolt would be perfect.

I am really interested in the Charging station / portable power unit DCB1800M3T1, I have a moderate sized collection of 20v tools. The stud drill and grinder are the only tools of the flexvolt line that i dont already cover with 20v max or corded versions. So having the charging /power station would allow all tools to run on the new wireless standard.

In addition it would help keep the charging area neat and tidy with only 1 charging station instead of 3-4 separate ones.

Seeing as I am fortunate to already have a perfectly nice Dewalt 12″ Mitre saw, I’d have to go for the DEWALT DCD460T2 60V MAX 2 Battery FLEXVOLT Stud Joist Drill Kit, 1/2″. That would make life a whole lot easier reworking the electrical (and some plumbing while I’m in there) in my entire house to update the old stuff. Walls coming down, walls going up – this would help speed up the job for sure. TIA

If I won, I’d easily go for the big miter…where I live, we’re always working in multi-story environments, so anything cordless just means fewer trips up and down stairs with buckets full of cords! Also really curious to see how it compares to the DWS780..which is a joy to work with. Happy holidays everyone

I’m building a new house (well I’m not building it), but there’s no lack of projects to start on once we move in. I’ve got a pretty good set of hand-me down tools currently, but for sheer capability I’d have to choose the “12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790”. First on the list is mudroom built-ins and fireplace built-ins and I think that would go a long way.

there are a few options here that intrigue me. to me this is the equivalentof someone handing me the keys to a porsche dealership and telling me to pick whatever i want! Gadzooks!!! I own quite a few dewalt tools and have been craving a flexvolt battery to replace my non lithium ion 18volt batteries nearing end of life. I’m really interested in eyeing w a elzvolt battery can do with my cordless vacuum! All that if I had to choose just one of the options above id have to pick a tool I desire but do not possess. The cordless table saw would be the dream here! Here’s to hoping! Thanks for the opportunity and Merry Christmas!!!

I would love the flexvolt table saw. My current table saw was pulled out of the company dumpster… and is older than me! I am putting in custom melamine shelving in our new master closet as funding becomes available… and would like to be able to use a saw with no wobble!

As I have fairly recently upgraded table saws, drill and impact driver, but have an aging and cheap miter saw, I am thinking the DHS790 Miter Saw set! As to what I’d build? I work in computers for a living, but have over the past few years added two bedrooms into my house, remodeled another that my wife used to live in… Looking forward to many projects in the coming year including building a better workshop and shed (outdoors) and refurbishing trim/crown mouldings/baseboards/flooring and finishing basement projects in my own house… Along with a new patio/pergola… I am 99.999% sure this would be useful in many of those projects, along with the possibility of beginning to do small contractor jobs on the side. 🙂

I’d probably go with the sliding compound miter DHS790 to replace the HF special that was intended just to get me through a project… more than 4 years ago! With a new house and more space, lots of space to fill with new projects!

I own a home service company and find that I frequently need a tool for just a few cuts. Often it takes more time to break out an extension cord and setup than to make the cuts. I’ve worked out a solution to this with dewalt’s flexvolt table saw and miter saw. The missing part is dust collection. I can’t effectively capture dust at the tool with today’s cordless vacuums. The power station would let me set up my vacuum without wasting time with extension cords.

I would choose the sliding miter saw if I was chosen! I don’t own one and the one I have access to is less than good. I would use it for everything! LOL. I do maintenance at a school. I appreciate the time and effort you put into ToolGuyd! Thanks for all the info and deals you supply us with!

I would likely buy the work light, but maybe the miter saw. I seem to be somewhat deficient in area lighting, so it’s the logical need. But a saw that I can use out in the yard sounds appealing too! I’m doing a barn next summer, and running a jumbo cord for incidentals doesn’t sound fun.

I would love to win the DEWALT DCS7485B FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Bare Tool Table Saw, 8-1/4″, I am woodworker and hobbyist who also helps other people in building things from wood, just passing down the knowledge!! I don’t have a table saw and always wanted to buy a dewalt table saw as I have used to before any buddy’s place and it cuts awesome!! Plus the 32″ rip capacity is the industry’s best as no other saw I have researched has this!!

I would definitely pick the cordless table saw, it would be a huge relief to have something safer than the ancient contractor’s saw I have now. Avoiding projects because they require using a table saw has gotten old quick during the course of renovating my new (to me) hundred year old house! Thanks for running such an awesome giveaway!

I love this site! Spent so much $ on tools over the last three? years because of it 🙂 This is the first website I’m opening on my computer, before anything else .
I doubt that I win but in case this miracle would happen, I’d like to have this new mitter saw. Or at least a table saw as an optional present. I could finally start a project to extend my roof over a back porch.

If I was selected I would pick the miter saw! I would use it for various projects around the house. I already own Dewalt’s 7-1/4″ 20V Miter saw and would love to have the full size miter saw!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Id love to say pick me pick me… but I never win.. so Pick the BEST winner! Should I win, Id love to get a hold of the Flexvolt DHS790AT2 kit. That thing is the beast to end all beasts. I have a dedicated woodshop where I build you know, woodshoppy things. I have my dads old Rockwell/delta super 990 turret Radial Arm Saw for cross cutting. It takes forever to get that thing lined up to cut 90 degrees so I never, ever try and cut angles with it. Id love to get the Dewalt Slider in my shop so I can make all those fancy cuts I try to avoid now. The best part of the whole system is that you can use A/C or D/C.. how cool is that? Best of both worlds. I almost bought the competitions product but since it didn’t have the A/C option I passed. This Saw is meant to last me 20+ years. Couldn’t guarantee that the competition would continue making battery packs in 20 years so I passed. With the Dewalt, this is not a factor and the Saw is portable around the homestead.. No electricity required!

12″ Sliding miter saw for sure! I’ve got an old sliding majors that has a bad bearing and it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Also the portability of cordless would be amazing. Plenty of trim work to use it on.

Miter saw would be the best bet due to portability and lack of power outlets especially with the clapboard residing project planned for next spring, definitely beats running the power cord. The promo page showed some future tools for 2017. Had I known that they were making a cordless tracksaw I would have waited before I purchased the corded DWS520. Cords are always in the way!

I’d choose the circular saw and the reciprocating saw. I’d use them to finish the remodel of my basement. The circular saw would supplement a great (and extremely heavy) Ryobi I brought over 20 years ago. The reciprocating saw has been long needed but never in the budget.

Hey there, I’m a residential carpenter in a congested city working out of pickup truck with a cap. I would love to own a battery operated sliding miter saw for those tricky times where one outlet is shared between a handful of trades but due to the limited space i have to store my tools on the move it would need to fully replace my corded miter saw. Dewalt is the only company right now that I think can do that.

Thank you for the time and effort you dedicate to this subject that is so near and dear to our hearts. Don’t let a little advertising bother you. It is very clear you make a true effort to be as objective as possible in all reviews and ratings.

As for the giveaway. I could really use the cordless sliding compound miter saw. There are some trim jobs that need to get done in the spring. Plus some toy storage is needed for the playroom. The saw would be really helpful.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Good luck to all and congratulations to the winners!!

If I win, I would have to pick the planer and tablesaw. These would be used to make more slab tables and benches. I’ve been planing my planks the old fashioned way so far, and haven’t picked up an electric planer. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because I like the exercise of running a plane manually over my boards. Because I’m not always cutting boards, a smaller more portable tablesaw it perfect in my little shop. My current tablesaw is mothballed because I don’t have the room for it in my garage.

I would go for the sliding miter saw. Not sure that I really need it, but I have found the limit of my Craftsman cheapo saw. It has worked fine for cutting lumber, but the fence is never square, how much ever I tinker with it. I have a lot of cabinets that need to get built, so I think that this would be a huge….. massive… step up.

Golly, I’d love to have any of these tool sets. I do hobby/household project woodworking. I’d say the ones that are most interesting to me are:

The the 20V Hammer drill and impact driver combo: I currently don’t have either a hammer drill or impact driver. I’d be especially excited about the impact because I currently only have an old 18v dewalt drill. I strip a lot of screws.

The 120V sliding miter saw would be nice. I have a ryobi sliding miter which has a lot of play in all of it’s moving parts which translates to poor cuts.

The 60V grinder would be awesome. I don’t have a grinder. The dewalt wired version has been sitting in my Amazon wishlist for a long time. Cordless would be amazing!

The reciprocating saw would also be great. I have two boxes of diablo blades that my buddy gave me from an auction lot but no recip saw to use them in.

I would love to win the kit. My workshop/shed is only 12×16 and I’m busting out of the seams. I need to build an addition to my shop as well as a grill table for my Kamado Joe grill. Thanks for sponsoring the contest!

If i won, i would want the DEWALT FLEXVOLT 120v Compound Miter Saw Kit. I would use it for various home (condo) improvement projects! My dad was always a DIY kind of guy and as a new homeowner i would love to continue the legacy. So far a have a kitchen remodel and partial bathroom remodel under my belt. I would use the tool for new baseboards and crown molding first

If I won I would pick the cordless miter saw. It is a great looking kit that I would love to use in the homes that I am working on. I have several rental properties and want to get more actively involved in purchasing and flipping houses.

I have been looking at the Flexvolt sliding miter saw as both a general saw upgrade and for the cordless capability. I am in the process of building a shed and a gazebo on our property far from any existing electricity and a stationary saw would be great (or if the portable power station is included in the giveaway that would be awesome too for the same reason, would love to not have to mess with a generator and I already have a pile of 20v max and now Flexvolt batteries around).

I think a giveaway is great. Ads and interaction with relevant brands that produce high quality products seems completely appropriate to me. At this point, I check Toolguyd daily, and whenever I learn about a product from the site that I choose to purchase I attempt to use the provided affiliate link as a way of saying thanks.

I’d get the 8-1/4″ Cordless Table Saw, DCS7485. Why? I’ve been wanting a table saw to do more cabinet carpentry around the house, and my situation requires me to go out in the back yard to perform any such work. This would be way easier with a cordless, though I couldn’t justify that since I’m not professional. Anyway, thanks for doing this give-away!!

If the table saw accepted dado blades that would be my choice but it doesn’t so I’m going to have to go mitersaw. I’ve got a project coming up in the spring requiring cutting a bunch of PT 6x6s away from any real power source so a cordless mitersaw would beat using a cordless circular or recip saw.

I have to go with the table saw…it’s one of the few tools I don’t have that I need for woodworking and such. It’s got the power and the flexibility I can use for projects around the house and I can finally start working on my children’s wood toys.

I would love the 120v Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I’ve owned the corded version of this since 2006, and the saw is still going strong. I’m glad to hear they have come out with these new battery variants, and hope they start releasing some yard tools that take advantage of the new power specs of the new batteries. A leaf blower that uses the flexvolt battery would be very nice that way I can still use the battery on my 20v stuff.

As a young dad with two little girls my next project is a playset for the backyard. being a carpenter at heart i will likely build it from scratch and i would choose that Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit, DCK299, to help finish the job. The way I see it is that I get to play with the tools by building my girls the play set then they get to play on the set when its done. talk about a win win!

All of the Flex volt tools look amazing and any would be a great addition to continue remodeling our house. The most useful one to me would be the sliding miter saw. The “honey do” list is never ending and a kitchen remodel is next on the list…new floor, take down a wall, build island. Thanks toolguyd!

If I won I would pick the miter saw as the ability to have a full-size miter would be very beneficial to making repairs/upgrades to storage barns in remote areas (Northwoods WI) without electricity access.

Amazing giveaway! I’ve had my eye on the Flexvolt DCS7485 for sometime now.

I’ve gone from owning no power tools and living in a 330 sq ft apartment 2 years ago, to now owning a 1600 sq ft 80’s ranch home. Attached is a 10’x12′ storage room’ that I’ve been slowly turning into a shop.

I’ve checked out your website each day on my lunch break and have purchased a few of Dewalt 20v tools based on your reviews (brushless drill, 7 1/4 cordless miter saw) and consider myself locked into the Dewalt system.

I’ve been utilizing every sq ft of volume in my shop for storage, building small furniture piece for my wife and toys for my toddler son. It’s been a great love to finally have a shop, but doing straight cuts with a borrowed curricular saw and a clamped level every time doesn’t make the process a speedy one.

This spring, I’ve got my eye on building an outdoor play structure for my kid-o. Home Depot sells the slide, swing, polls, and kid friendly ‘climbing rocks’. I would love to have this all done before spring hits and he could play outside on a structure that I made from him.

Very cool that you’re doing this. I would like to get into the Flexvolt platform and winning a tool would be great, especially at this cash strapped time of year. I would definitely take the miter saw. The 790 is a no brainer when you think what great saw it’s based off and then add a cordless option. Just wow. Any of the Flexvolt tools would be appreciated though.

I would probably choose the Flex Volt Miter Saw. I have a large lot and usually have several projects running at the same time. I’ve just about burned the armature out of my current miter saw trying to power it through too much extension cord. The portable power would also give me more freedom to move further out and build some a couple of projects that were on hold waiting for a generator purchase.
Thanks for the chance! Merry Christmas!

While I’d love to have the flexvolt 12″ miter saw, I already own two corded Dewalt miter saws. I’m a handyman and an animal welfare photographer. I could see the portable power station as a very useful tool! It would be great for running LED lights during video shoots and also to run my 10″ Dewalt miter saw. It could also run laptops, tablets and lights, tools and more during the rescue missions and other animal welfare projects. Like a project I did recently -building a temporary structure inside a poorly lit horse barn – to acclimate semi feral cats to their new homes in the barn.

Thanks and keep up the good work there- showing folks the latest tools and tool deals!

i would definitely choose the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790. I would use it to build everything my wife has been wanting me to build all these years that I have not because of lack of a good saw like this one. It would be awesome to get one of these!

I thought about this one a bit. I didn’t want to simply go with the most expensive item by default, but somehow I ended up there anyway. I felt at first that the best upgrade for me personally would be to go from a corded circular saw to a cordless model because of how much easier setup would be for the occasions where I just want to make a few quick cuts without having to move things to a power source. But then I thought about how great an upgrade the miter saw would be, since I’m currently relying on a 10″ corded model, and I sure could use the extra capacity of the 12″ sliding model for a crown molding project that I have putting off for far too long. It’s the DEWALT DHS790AT2 for me! 🙂 Thanks for yet another giveaway!

The circular saw, table saw or one of the miter saws would be my pick. I asked for (and am receiving) a compressor for Christmas so I have no excuse to not install new baseboards once they’re all ripped out as part of my electrical and insulation overhaul. New subfloor plywood that will need cutting has been sitting in the garage for over a year and the siding and trim are overdue to be replaced. If there was a decking screwgun, that would be my top pick.

I would definitely choose the Flexvolt 60v Tablesaw due to my old Craftman table saw stopped working and also don’t have the space at my current residence for a full size table saw and have to take it out back to use each time i needed to use it so the flexvolt table saw would make life so much easier. I currently am using a dewalt corded curcular saw for all my cross cutting and it is a psin on the large 4×8 sheets to get a straight cut.

I would LOVE the sliding miter saw! I am planning to build a treehouse with my son in the spring and being able to use a miter saw on site would make everything WAY easier. Also love that I could plug it in when I can use it near power as well.

Working multiple jobs and slinging tools around all day, in and out of vehicles, that cordless 12″ sliding mitre saw would be amazing! The extra batters would be a fantastic addition to all my other DeWalt tools too!

I’m in love with my dewalt cordless tools. I use them everyday, One feature I like is the charge time is quick as most here can relate to that we don’t always recharge the tool once we use it. I’d really like the cordless table saw but would settle for the cordless miter saw with the 110 volt adapter. I have one dilemma, My wife, and I do love her, but If I purchased these tools The first thing I’d have to build is a dog house to live in for awhile. I think most of you can figure out why. It’s just that I’m so tired of extension cords…John

I think that the new 120 and 60 volt Dewalt power tools are pretty sweet. I could have really used those when I was working out of a carport with a 15 amp circuit that powered all the garages and light that I popped just about once a week. I ended up having to buy a generator and use that to run the tools.

I think I would probably go with the table saw. That will definitely help me with my deck this next summer.

I also think that the power station is pretty sweet too. I’ve been looking at some of those models from different companies that have come out and I’d really like to test one out.

I would love to get my hands on the Portable Power Station and use it at home for power outages to run my fridge and lights. It would also also come in handy for running my corded miter saw outdoors without running cords!

Jeez this giveaway is super awesome Stuart! I would pick the DHS790AT2. A cordless/ corded option is just unbeatable. Ive been looking into getting the DWS780 maybe early next year but this was also on the table for the extra $. I remodel homes for friends and family as a hobby and this would definitely make things go faster!

I’d select the Flex Volt Miter Saw for my younger brother. He just left his career in construction management to go into full time missions to help others around the globe with construction projects. He’s raised about 75% of his support and was just diagnosed with stage 3 cancer of the colon. He’s had surgery removing 12″ of his colon but the doctors feel great about a full recovery. I’d love to lift his spirts as well as his tool collect as his current miter saw is an old single bevel dewalt that I purchased off of Craigslist when I upgraded to a Hitachi.

First of all, thank you for the opportunity to win and for offering this generous giveaway! I would love to have the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw DHS790 for many remodeling & woodworking projects, including interior trim and stair building, framing both interior and exterior, building a pergola, and a bed for my daughter. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

The table saw is really awesome but the thing I’m sure I would use the most is the grinder. I make stainless still sculpture for a living and I’m always using a grinder. Haven’t been able to go cordless yet but that flexvolt grinder looks like a reall work horse.

I would love to have any of the Dewalt tools. They look amazing! If I had to pick, I ‘d choose the sliding miter saw. The thing is a beast! I’d love to use it to build stuff for my family. Thanks Stuart!

I would definitely take the compound sliding miter saw. I would use it to trim my dog’s nails. 😀

My current slider is an old Makita, which is held together with epoxy, the miter detents don’t work, and the saw head doesn’t even lock down for transport anymore — I use a chunk of wire to tie it off lol.

Awesome contest idea! I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I have to say, the DEWALT DHS790AT2 would be awesome. Have a new to me house, with lots of never fixed things around. Have eyes on a new fence next year and maybe a barn so I can get the yard stuff out of the garageshop land.

Kids need a solid slide and jungle gym and such. My ol’ 20V MAX 3AH 5 part kit batteries are starting to show all of their 3~4 years of use too. Gotta say I’m pretty pleased with them, I in turn keep them away from hot and cold extremes.

I would love the new 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw, DHS790. I have really taken to the world of wood working making things like kitchen tables and chairs. Also i do trim work around the house as we fix things up and this saw would make my life so much easier!

Oh man I need that 12in miter saw!!! Since my house and food truck are fully solar every ounce of energy I conserve helps, as I use a miter saw the most! Also my 10in dewalt just broke after 6 years. So that would be awesome!!

Wow ide be all over the flexvolt miter saw!!!! I use my miter saw almost everyday installing flooring and having a 12″ corded/cordless option would make me unstoppable!!! good job on the giveaways toolguyd!!!!!

Seeing as how I haven’t been able to find one at any of the stores I’ve been to, I would love to try out the DCB1800 battery bank. Considering that I still have a few functional tools in the garage that run off corded power it would be a great benefit for around-the-house projects to be more mobile. I’d use it to help with the demolition and re-construction of an exterior deck.

I would choose the 120v MAX 12” Double Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw Kit which would probably start me down the path of upgrading my existing 18v DeWalt tools. It would be used mostly for theatrical set building and work around the house

Sliding miter would be my choice too. I’m a DIY’er – one that’s built a 24×48 garage, added 24×32 to the barn, and a 30×20 addition to my home. I plan to build a place for my mower, an elevated hunting cabin – oh and my church is currently starting a building project – battery operated miter saw would be REALLY helpful with that until power gets installed (and even after). From what I’m reading, this might be more accurate than my current miter too – I often have to “play” with mine to get true cuts. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Wow! The best brand of tools is now big on batteries. The slide mitre saw is what I have my eye on. I need a portable saw that I can use in the field to build my son’s new deck. I’ve already got the driver and the drill. Oh please Santa….

Hi,
Thanks Toolguy’d for the fantastic opportunity.. DeWalt makes amazing tools! I would request the DHS 790 FlexVolt miter saw and give it to my father. We do small wood projects and some maintenance for the family. I think the saw would be very helpful for my sister’s deck project and, as we’re getting older, it allows for some quality time.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I would love to have the new flexvolt miter saw…my family is currently building a house and we are doing quite a bit of the work in addition to my regular job and it would be amazing to have a saw to help us finish our house faster and improve quality (im using an older 10 inch) and help me do the finish work in order to make my wife happy! Happy wife…happy life!

been using dewalt tool for ears and love them. When I found out they had redesigned the battery powered slide saw with the capability to by pass the battery and plug into a 110 power source I wanted one so bad but I knew my wife would not let me purchase it as I have 5 other sliding compound saws sitting in the shop. But if I won one then that would be a different story. I’m also eyeing the cordless table saw as well..I’m pleased to see Dewalt continue to push the envelop for us contractors to make our jobs easier, for example it’s common to see a power strp on the job sie just loaded with cords connected to it. Where ae with a cordless I don’t have to worry about that, plus my van has a 110 converter plug so I can charge my batteries there…thank you R&D team at Dewalt John Crow cell # 831-320-2282

If I won the giveaway, I’d choose the Reciprocating saw kit with two batteries, along with the angle grinder bare tool. I just finished up a six month stint working at a cabinet shop, and working there really got me interested in tools and general fabrication/home repair. I’ve been using what money I’ve been paid to slowly build a functional collection of tools, especially for general maintenance around my parents house. I’d use the angle grinder to cut a metal joist to length as extra support for the garage door rail in the garage, and would use the reciprocating saw to cut a few tree branches that are issues in the backyard.

Could definitely use the miter saw kit. My old miter saw was bought used a few years back and it’s on it’s last leg. I use it everyday for remodeling our old home we bought off my grandma along with building furniture for the house. Also build furniture for family and friends.

We’re renovating a big multistory house with mostly reclaimed material and a rather limited toolsupply so the sliding miter saw would make quite a few jobs so much easier than waiting weeks to borrow one or making do somehow with a handheld circular
And with it being cordless so much time is saved!
plus taking it out to bigger jobs would give us a few more working opportunities to make some money for the things you just have to purchase!..

Quite a successful post it seems ToolGuyd , congratulations on the large audience!

Wow – What an awesome holiday gift package from Toolguyd.com!! I would absolutely LOVE to win the Dewalt 1/2″ impact driver package. I’ve had my eyes on these for about 2 years now but haven’t had the extra cash to buy it. I would use it regularly to perform brake changes, tire rotations, and ATV maintenance. Thanks for the opportunity!

If I win, I would pick the mitre saw. I am a carpenter, most of my projects are window and door replacements. I only make a few dozen cuts on any given day cutting interior and exterior trim pieces. My current 12″ single bevel dewalt mitre box is over 25 years old. It belonged to my dad, who is also a carpenter. I have it mounted on a ridgid brand folding saw stand. It’s heavy and majorly awkward to load and unload by myself. I first used dewalt 20 volt tools in 2011 at an Extreme Home Makeover project in Joplin, MO. After graduation from college I bought a hammer drill/ impact combo kit. The impact has since been replaced when the chuck would no longer hold bits in place after 5 years of hard use. The brushes are almost gone on the hammer drill, but it’s still going strong. I’ve been an active reader on your website for about 3 years. I first visited your site searching for Black Friday Deals. Now, I check back every other day or so to see if any new tools are being launched.

I’m another one for the compound miter saw. I’ve got the baseboards for the kitchen calling my name, and I’ve been eager to make a laminated bench. And there’s the shed for the garbage cans and recycling bins, and more shelves for the garage and basement…

I would would choose the Flexvolt miter saw, the size and power would allow this contractor to work cordless on almost any jobsite.
The blower size would allow me to handle framing and trim work on the same saw.

This giveaway is an awesome idea, and the format you chose is great. I think on the receiving end most will simply appreciate the gift. I have been wanting to test the new sliding miter saw ever since I saw it on ToolGuyd. I never use Dewalt’s power tools because they’re normally priced out of my range.
However I would use it for everything, and honestly just having a nice saw increases my value as a subcontractor (a lot more capable than my 7 1/4 miter saw).
Thanks for the opportunity ToolGuyd!

Gosh! – So many choices. I was undecided between the power station and the table saw.. but I settled on the power station. I think that would be so useful for me because I only have a few outlets in my garage/shop. Having the ability to move things around and bring the power to the tools would be a huge help!

Wow, what a great contest! I could really use a number of those tools. I’m in the process of restoring a mid-century modern ranch. I have a basic set of tools, but no miter saw or table saw. Right now I’m leaning toward the 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw because I have a lot of trim work I need to do. I think that would be the perfect tool for the job!

Would definitely go with the sliding compound miter saw kit DHS790AT2 to replace my older fixed miter saw. I really like that it can be plugged in when power is available or run off batteries if only a few cuts need to be made or if no power has been hooked up. I’d use it for re-framing while doing electrical and finish wood when building custom home theater and security systems.

I would choose the table saw or the portable power pack only because I already have a cordless miter saw and a cordless 7 1/4 circular saw . Being a diy also having a cordless table saw would be real nice & the portable power pack would also come in handy for some jobs without power around. I think it’s awesome that you would do something like this out of your own pocket.

I’m fortunate enough to own my home, which is a ranch-style three-bedroom in California. It’s a beautiful house, and I’m constantly getting it adjusted to meet my needs as a person in a heavy-duty motorized wheelchair. I’ve had my kitchen redone for maximum accessibility and will redo my master bath as soon as I can figure out flooring options.

I’ve been told that I have a beautiful backyard, and I can see it through my sliding glass door and windows, but I can’t go out there. I’ve been looking for a ramp to solve this problem, but I haven’t found any pre-fab ramps that will work with the tracks on the sliding glass door. I have an adorable little terrier mix who loves to play in the yard and doesn’t understand why her mommy can’t come out and play with her.

Thankfully, there is a solution in sight. My boyfriend and his father have designed a ramp for me that will work, but it involves some complicated cuts, and the FlexVolt Miter Saw would make the job so much more possible.

I would chose the work light with a second battery. I do hvac and a lot of times I work in poor light. In poor light we are working with flashlights or corded work lights. With those we have to drag around extension cordso and those can pose a hazzard. With proper light I can do my job better and provide better service to my customers.

If I were the fortunate soul to score a flexible system, I’d be tempted by the table saw, but go for the miter saw. I’ve borrowed my neighbor’s far too often – and it is a massive beast. It’s probably be easier for him to borrow my flexvolt than get his out if his garage – in second thought…

I’d love to win the DHS790AT2 ,12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw. I have a number of jobs around the house where this would be the perfect tool: trim jobs indoors and outdoors, garden planters, bathroom shelving and cabinets. I am also taking some wood working classes at a local junior college to expand my skills.
Thanks for all the informative posts and this amazing giveaway the Stewart!

Great giveaway! Over 500 comments with 9 days to go. I would choose the mitre saw. I have some creative ideas I would like to implement with crown molding. A mitre saw would help me implement those ideas.

The table saw is tempting, but I would choose the sliding miter saw so I could fix some of the baseboard molding in my bathroom and some of the laminate flooring in my living room. I’d also take the opportunity to learn more woodworking skills, which I only started doing less than a year ago.

Thanks. I would like the fixed mitersaw. I’m a finish carpenter and project lead for a residential remodeling company. Often I’m back at the near end of a job doing punch list stuff like base shoe etc.. I have been curious about cordless for saws and guns.

If I win I would like the table saw. I am in the military so it being portable is a huge plus. Wood working is a hobby of mine and it’s hard to do when you never know when you might have to move to the next basem

Hi There – What an amazing and kind gift of giving! I recently left my technology focused career in hopes of getting back to a more physical and rewarding life building a business in residential renovation. I had a great run of 20 plus years working for large companies managing technology teams and although I loved the challenge it left a void of working in the physical world – and the smell of freshly cut wood!

I would select the 120v sliding miter saw to aid in getting jobs set up quickly with the flexibility of moving to areas that are power “challenged”

I would love to win the 60v Table Saw! After following this blog I fell in love with the Dewalt cordless 20v system and have been slowing building my collection for the many projects after buying my first house out of college! Hopefully these tools will be very helpful in doing the work myself on many rental properties I hope to acquire to support my future family!

Just sitting here waiting for the fat man to come, reading Toolguyd.com and I’m not seeing a package under the tree big enough to hold a sliding miter saw so that would be my choice. Would make so many tasks easier. Thanks! And Happy Holidays!

I would choose the 60v miter saw. The reason behind this is that has to be the best tool of the lineup. Then you pair it with the cordless feature and it really takes it to a new level. I’d be looking to help out, and finish projects at my parents camp.

I came across this site a month ago and can’t stop browsing through it.
The 60V Max brushless circular saw will make it easy for me to build my wife’s vegetable planters, washer/dryer pedestals, backyard fencing and whatever she has on her list…she is driving me crazy.

Without a doubt the DHS790AT2 compound miter saw kit. I’m a homeowner/DIYer. I have an older Hitachi 10″ miter saw but I have it fixed to a large work bench and therefore it is not portable.

Running into the basement for cuts for all the outside projects gets tiresome. I use a circ for a lot of stuff but I prefer the accuracy of mitre. In the spring I’ll be rehabbing our raised garden beds, and taking on both a chicken coop and a really badly needed shed.

Being able to set up outside where I am working would be priceless. Thanks for the contest!

Miter saw because its a beautiful tool that got such an excellent review courtesy of this site. Now every time I go into the tool aisle, I stop and stare when I come across it. I imagine that I would become a real carpenter if I had it. I know the right tool is only a small bit of the equation when it comes to the art of carpentry. Everyone has dreams right!? But I guess I would definitely be begging my friends to let me help them with their projecs just so we could use it!

I would get the miter saw so I could sell it on Craigslist like everyone else😳😜 J/K I’ve been looking and comparing the all of the companies producing battery operated miter saws and can’t convince the wife this is the tool I need this to finish some of projects on the honey do list. She said “the wooden box with cuts in it and the hand saw that her great grandpa used would do a fine job”☹️

I would want either the sliding compound miter saw or the area work light. Both would be great help on the two decks (almost 1300 sq ft between them) I’m replacing this spring – often working into the twilight and early eve.
Thanks for setting up the giveaway.

Love the blog, thanks for the fun giveaway.
I’d select the table saw, I’ve been wanting one of these for quite awhile.
I want to make some rolling carts and other storage for my cluttered garage, and the table saw would make the ripping breeze by.
Good luck to everyone!

An exciting, generous give away! I would pick the Table Saw with the Miter Saw as second choice! I don’t have either one in my arsenal of tools, I do have a small circular saw that I get by with. As a grandma with a young granddaughter, I look forward to making a potting bench, garden beds, and a play kitchen with and for her!

I would select the FlexVolt circular saw, reciprocating saw, and drill/driver kit with FlexVolt batteries. I’d use this to install wheelchair ramps and handrails for people in our community that can’t afford, don’t have, or are in desperate need of a new ones. We do a lot of charity work at a local physical therapy clinic, and this would open the door for more help.

I work in maintenance so any of the tools would be great, if available in the give away I would choose the power station second choice would be the table saw I am pretty well set for smaller cordless tools . I am anxious to see what ope tools come out in the flex volt line

Although most tools from the Dewalt FlexVolt lineup would be desirable, I believe I would choose the miter saw.

I am not a professional woodworker, but I do use my current miter saw (DWS780) quite a bit. I really like the idea of being able to convert from 120V DC to 120 AC. The new FlexVolt miter saw seems to get the blade up to speed quite a bit faster than the corded 780 that I currently own. It is almost instantaneous.

I would consider myself being 1 of 2 family handymen. My dad, the primary handyman, is getting a little seasoned so it has been difficult for him to take on most of the projects. Projects will typically range within our family’s needs, but we are never shy of helping neighbors and friends as well.

The majority of our family owns or rents old homes, so having access to an outdoor receptacle is slim to none. I am not going to say that plugging in a cord from inside and running it outside is so inconvenient that I stray away from work, but it definitely is easier and I would feel more mobile with the FlexVolt platform.

I demoed this saw back in September at a Dewalt expo in Maryland and was very impressed with the power and capability of the saw. This is something that the tool market has never seen before. Last year, Dewalt came out with the 7-1/4″ saw on a 20V platform that I really wasn’t excited about. If you strictly were to cut 2×4/2×6 framing lumber, it would be ideal. However, I cut miscellaneous sized stock and would much prefer the 12″ cordless saw in lieu of the 7″.

First, thank you to Stuart the Toolguyd for this giveaway. Advertising notwithstanding it is a great gesture to give back to the loyal viewers and contributors who help put this site at the top.
I would choose the Sliding Miter Saw – go for the gusto! Seldom does one have the chance to start with the high ticket item. There isn’t a tool in the line I couldn’t use and in time could slowly add to the Flexvolt collection. Starting with the flagship item would be tremendous . . . and very much needed. In the shop and in the field – one saw does it all.
Thanks again for the opportunity. Have a Happy New Year!

What an awesome giveaway. If I won, I would definitely choose the miter saw. Woodworking is a hobby of mine that takes up nearly all of my non-work time. A miter saw would be EXTREMELY handy (and much safer) for cross cuts (rather than trying to use a jobsite table saw). Also, I’d use it to add crown moulding and re-do the base moulding that the previous owner messed up in my house!

Table saw. I have everything else but this and can never justify getting one. But then I regret not having one ALL the time while working at my 1890’s row home. But the chop saw would be real nice on job sites. Right?

I would love to use the cordless 12″ Sliding mitre saw. My current miter saw and stand are over 100lbs and a pain to move around at jobs, and even in and out of my truck. It would be great to not only have a lighter saw to move around with ease, but to have the option to have it cordless if needed. Then i can finally leave my heavy bosch in my shop. Thanks for the opportunity of this giveaway! Love your website!

Definately the table saw for me. I really like the fixed Miter also, but I have many more tabel saw-ish projects on the horizon with a bunch of ripping to be done. I’m sure the slider is nice too but I don’t cut things that large with any regularity in a homeowner setting that the added weight and size would be worth it to me as a tradeoff. The outdoor power equipment looks tempting in the future as well…

I would choose the FLEXVOLT 120v MAX 12” Double Bevel Miter Saw because my old Ryobi miter saw scares the hell out of me everytime I make a cut with it. It rattles and shakes like it’s mounted to a freight train.

The circular saw kit here, I don’t have a working circular saw currently and a jigsaw just isn’t the same. I’m going to build some cabinets/shelves for the garage, and I can borrow a table saw (also don’t need it to be cordless), but the circular saw would be useful well after that project. I also already have a corded miter saw.

I’d love to have the table saw or the circular saw. My wife and I are currently in the process of remodeling our 1870’s farmhouse. We are essentially redoing everything in the house, but we are keeping it era-specific as much as possible.

My aging Craftsman Pro 20V circular saw is pretty well wore out (saw and batteries) and is in need of replacement. I don’t currently have a portable table saw, but the Dewalt FlexVolt table saw would be a great help to lessen the countless trips from my house to my dad’s shop to use his table saw. Either of these saws would certainly be a great help for our project and would get plenty of use.

My family and I have a small farm that’s constantly in need of repair or new buildings, and I would pick either the Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit, as our old DeWalt set is worn out, or the Sliding Miter Saw because our Skil Miter saw is only a 10″.
Thanks for the opportunity! God bless you!

I would love to have the impact and hammer drill combo kit. Dewalt is constantly making great quality product that last forever. I’m an electrician so I need tools that I can rely on. Dewalt has never let me down. I remember buying my first 18v impact driver years ago. It had great battery life and power. Till this day I still have it and it works good after the daily grind it went through. Getting this kit would make my life easier for sure. Keep up the great work Dewalt. Keep the technology coming.

I’d pick the Dewalt FlexVolt sliding miter saw. We’ve redone our dinning room recently and it’s just screaming for some crown molding to be put up but have been hesitant to start with my current saw. My current miter saw is only a 10″ non-sliding and about 12 years old and has seen better days and has made better cuts. After the crown, the “Honey Do” list is pretty intensive; built-ins, new baseboards, siding on shed, etc…

I really like the power station with batteries, until they come out with a 60v track saw it would be a great addition to my kit. I love not having to drop cords every day. The charger seems too notch and who can’t use extra power or batteries. I’m a one man band so if I can work more efficiently and save time then it puts money in my pocket and more time with my children.

This is a great offer and it really makes me think about which tool I would need the most and how soon I would need it. As I am getting ready to retire from serving in the army for 22 years, I am looking to make what has been a side job of custom built ins for the past couple years into a full time career change, but I also need to build a house and workshop prior to that. That being said, I would have to go with the sliding compound miter saw as I think I would use that the most, although the joist drill is a close second.

I would choose the flexvolt 12″ Sliding Compound Miter Saw. Since getting out of the Marine Corps I have been going to school. I have been looking for volunteer opportunities in San Diego to continue to support the community in my spare time. I would use the miter saw to assist with projects such as habitat for humanity, VFW projects, American Legion projects, and other projects that could assist other veterans in need.

I think it’s a tough choice between the cordless miter saw and the cordless table saw. I think the portable power station would be a handy tool to have as well. As for what I would use them for, the girlfriend is always finding projects for me to do as well as things she finds on Pintrest for me to make. The current project is a stuffed animal zoo for her son.

I’d love the table saw, as I don’t have power in my garage and fixing up this old house is not fun out in the snow! I’m currently running extension cords from the house and thus would mean one cord instead of two!

Without a doubt, either of the miter saws (i’m not picky – especially for something this generous!) I have an old Craftsman (well not that old) and it is as accurate as using a kids ruler to develop precision instruments! Like most amateurs miter corners are always a challenge (but look so simple!) – and having a well made and dead accurate miter saw would be great!
The light would come in very handy when you have a big project and you need to have light at ground level – for looking for those flaws only you can see! :0 Again, thanks for the contest! I read your post everyday and it is a great way to learn what you should spend your hard earned dollars on!
Happy New Year!

I know I should say the miter saw, and it would get used, but I have a Ridgid at the moment that is adequate. So I would want to get started with the Portable Power Station. It has a ton of possibilities, and almost seems more useful if you are already set on a miter saw (if you don’t use it much)

I’m surprised they don’t have more flex-volt multiple tool bundles. Like a circular, sawzall, and a light (or something), and offer a little better pricing. I know Milwaukee has a couple Fuel bundles that include several tools.

I’d opt for the DEWALT DCK299D1T1 20V MAX FLEXVOLT Brushless Premium Hammer Drill and Impact Combo Kit, and I’d give it to my son (20.) In the last year, he’s gone from having a 50/50 chance of identifying the top end of a hammer to doing professional work, rehabbing apartments, building decks, etc. He’s also got a number of personal projects he’s planning, now that he’s got the skill. This is the first year that his Christmas list was tools instead of video games. He’s currently using my hand-me-down DeWalt cordless drill that’s still running after a decade plus of abuse (while I make do with an old Ryobi); I’d love to enable his professional and personal pursuits with a new DeWalt kit.

If I would be the lucky guy to win, i would choose the circular saw… unless it were possible to get the yet-to-be-released flexvolt rotary hammer drill (dont even know the model number). I live in the middle east for half the year and the tools there are terrible. any name brand you could find are extremely expensive. so i bring tools from abroad. cordless is amazing because you dont have to bring a massive converter with you everywhere. just bring ample amount of batteries and your set for the day. hopefully things will change sometime soon but for now, gotta do what ones gotta do.

I have yet to make up my mind whether to go down the Milwaukee or Dewalt road fully have a fair amount of both and love the flex-volt table saw. (most of my places I rehab don’t have power for a while). This would make the decision much easier for my battery powered Miter saw (dewalt vs Milwaukee). Thanks guys have a great year.

First wow will this break 700 before the end of the year? I would want the sliding compound miter saw. My current miter saw doesnt slide and having a sliding miter saw would be a lot more useful. My first item would be a new work bench that i am working on. Followed by so shelves for my kids

For me, it’d have to be the 7-1/4″ circular saw. I do way too much rough (and fine!) cuts in 2x lumber and sheet goods with an old Craftsman sidewinder circular saw, and after a brief spell at work with DeWalt’s 20V 6-1/2″ circular saw (DCS391) I’m in looooooove. Going to be moving into a larger house soon, and whichever circular saw is closest to hand will be put to hard work with some minor (and probably not-so-minor) renovation projects.

I’d love to round out my tools with the table saw. We just bought a 70-year-old little house in Korea (but take delivery in California) that needs some serious repair and augmentation, a new roof deck, a hall to connect two parts, and a bathroom. It’s built of pine tree posts and beams with mud brick and mud-and-wattle walls, A restoration specialist is insanely expensive so it’s DIY. We’re tooled up with everything but a table saw. Jury rigging a guide is okay for a couple rips, but for serious construction we need a real tool, and ripping through oak qualifies it for me.

And of course, I’d primarily use this for dozens (literally, dozens) of projects my wife has wanted me to do. The first of which is an adjustable sitting/standing desk made of dimensional bamboo plywood. That ought to put a cordless miter saw through its paces!

Well I’d have to choose the miter saw. I do a fair amount of woodworking maintenance wise for my house. And I have a table saw, a radial arm saw, and a trim saw. This one would fill a capability gap for me which would be nice. (Would come in handy for doing the baseboards)

Awesome giveaway! Thanks! It would he a tough call between the non-slider miter saw and the 7-1/4″ circular saw. As a builder both get used a ton and the ability to setup quick and cord free framing has great appeal. Also using the circular saw while up on a platform framing roofs would be fantastic.

Amazing giveaway Stuey! Avid Garage Journal’r and Toolguyd reader. Dewalt is making a big push in the new Flex lines and good to see. What I am amazed by is the 120v Flex series Miter Saw- sliding none the less!

If I got my hands on one I would be going nuts with remote build projects, Treehouses, barn remodels, and the maybe even custom furniture; thats what I do professionally. The saw looks capable of giving quality (compound!) cuts.

Man, the whole FlexVolt lineup is so interesting, just about anything would be fantastic. The circular saw appears to be fantastic, the grinder also looks like a real performer. The area light is nice thing to see Dewalt get into (following Milwaukee’s lead) and the of course that portable power station has the prospects of seriously changing one’s work load.

However, I think the biggest wow-factor from this whole concept is the sliding compound miter and the fact that it’s both a corded and cordless solution, without missing a beat. That’s the one I’d have to go with. If there’s a dream tool in this lineup for most of tool geeks, that has to be in the top 10…

I have had many experiences of building in locations that are nowhere near a power source and where even a generator would be a hassle. One example that comes to mind is a cabin I built for myself in the Vermont woods. The whole thing was trimmed and then sided in cedar shingles. It would be a treat to have the ability to cut precise and repeatable compound miters in a remote location like that.
I would opt for the flexvolt sliding compound miter saw…

The miter saw would be fantastic. I’m just starting to get a home shop up and running, and a miter saw would be great for building a workbench and shelves. I also want to do some outdoor projects this spring to really take advantage of the big yard in the new place we moved into this year. And once I have the space to work set up I really want to get into some finer woodworking and furniture to replace all the cheap flatpack stuff we have been living with for decades.

This is an awesome give-away!! Thank you for the chance! If I won I’d want the sliding miter saw. My twin niece and nephews want me to build a club house and power is not close at all where they want to put it! This would be an awesome way to help get the job done! Thanks for chance to win!!

Mitre saw. I install replacement windows and have the entire 20v line up. Bought a couple of the flex volt batteries and they are great. Really want the mitre saw but i had just purchased a new 12″ dewalt like a month before the flex volt came out.

I’d pick the sliding compound miter saw. I’m having a baby with my girlfriend soon so that means I need to get myself a house and that saw would be a dream to help me out with the work needed to update a house in my price range and really make it our own.

I’d want to win the Double Bevel Compound Miter Saw Kit. I am a DIY and am currently working on making headboards from aged pallets. The finished product looks great, and the Compound miter saw would be a great asset to my projects!

I’d go for the Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit, DCK299 to replace my old and badly aging 14.4V drills. I use them for everything from hanging shelves for the kids to securing the new roof joists on the house and whatever I can in between. The Brushless 7-1/4″ Circular Saw, DCS575 would be a close second option.

For me the flex volt table saw would be perfect as I work on high end kitchen installation and would be great to have such a mobile saw to move around.
No question for me this is the best invention ever

I love all the Dewalt cordless tools. If I won I would love to have the compound miter saw. I have a cheap 10″ one now that is in need of being replaced. I am constantly doing work around the house and have found so many uses for a miter saw from studs to trim. I am also interested in getting a cordless impact driver. I asked the in-laws for one for Christmas but they got me a standard driver. ( can you ever have to many of those).

I’d love to have the miter saw. I’m fresh out of college and recently married and it seems like there’s always something I could build to help our lives out (shoe rack, customized charging station) and repurposing pallet wood has worked well for me in the past, I just don’t have a good saw to cut the boards to length since we both moved away from our families.

My choice if I was the lucky winner would be the miter saw. I have a lot of projects outside the summer (desk and fence) that not having to drag out a cord and that shares batteries with my other tools would be a huge plus. Thanks for the opportunity.

I would definitely choose the miter saw. Hands down, the portability and still have the power. This saw looks awesome. Huge fan of dewalt all the way. It amazes me the give away you guys do. Who cares about a little ad placement, if it helps to get a free tool it’s all good.

I would love to have the Hammer Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit, DCK299. My set tigjt now is about 10 years old and has seen better days and battery not working as well any more. We moved to a new house and within the next month I have some projects that need to get done around here and could really use new equipment to help out and not slow me down.

I would simply choose the Hammer Drill and Impact Driver combo kit! I’ve honestly never owned a cordless drill or driver but have always wanted to. I only have a corded black and decker drill that is less than impressive. Thank you or the opportunity!

If I won I would choose the sliding miter saw because I’m a trim carpenter/cabinet builder and I don’t have one. It would be handy to have for cutting shelving or only thing bigger than 8″ that a regular saw won’t cut without flipping over.

I would like to win miter saw. I just remodel my house and I have a lot of base moldings to do and moldings around windows and doors. I am thinking about crown moldings to. so it will be the best gift for me. 🙂

If I were lucky enough to win this, I would take the miter saw. I would use it for various projects but mostly my father and I would use it in the shop together. He was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia and he was a carpenter for 50 years. He can no longer work unsupervised but loves being in the environment, just to talk and be useful at all. Good luck to all and thank you for the opportunity!

As a first time homeowner with a fixer upper, the sliding compound mitre saw would be my choice . I cant wait to win this give away and get started on my base trim, crown moldings, deck, unfinished basement, the list goes on!

If I were to win I would want the compound sliding miter saw, I’ve worked for contractors before, have kept doing it as a hobby since I became a police officer, now im in the process of starting my own contracting business, and adding this tool to my inventory would help me out with starting my business. Having the ability to set the saw up with out a needed power source is almost limitless for its uses.

Both of my drills are currently dead and out of service. I have been forced to use an old cord drill to get things done. It has been a total pain. I have not had to extra cash to go buy a new one. This would really save me time and help the budget if I won! Thanks for the opportunity.

Well I would definitely choose the miter saw! I’ve been using an underpowered undersized and inaccurate relic for years now as other tools have been higher on the list. Needless to saw it would be swell to just set it down and make a cut. Keep my mind on what’s most important. The work at hand!
Thanks for the chance guys!!

My tool of choice would be the 12″ sliding compound miter saw. In the process of remodeling my house and this would be a tremendous help. I have many drills, a saws all, and skill saw already from Dewalt. I wouldn’t buy anything else.

I would love to get my hands on any of the 60v stuff but if i had to pick just one I think I would pick the Brushless Circular Saw. Because it is the one I would use the most being a carpenter and doing whole house projects. It would also be awesome not having to charge batteries all day or hoping that the 18v don’t freeze overnight
